Are you experiencing one of the top 10?

I have to brag, not obnoxiously so, about my Lion’s club, Diablo Valley Lions. We hosted yet another successful and wonderful crab feed fundraiser on January 13th. Many thanks goes to our fearless leader, President Terri Carson, who I lovingly call ‘Madame President!’
 
It does take the dedicated support and energy of all the club members, of which I am so proud. They willingly pull together to contribute to the success of this event each year and the success of our continued fundraising. All the funds that are raised from this event go back into the community.
 
Our theme this year was Disney. Many of the over three hundred attendees competed to win the best decorated table contest. Sadly, my table didn’t win!
 
Many thanks to the crab feed committee leader, Ed Cossart & his family, along with his dedicated team. Just to name a few — John Bates, the entire Strong family, Dave Larson, the Desmond family, the Putney family, and many more club and family members.
 
I believe the continued success of this event is that the club has a “Do and Learn” process. We learn more every year, from what worked or what didn’t, to improve upon it the following year. We notice things that would make it flow better, about how to time the needed tasks for the event, and what to add or take away for next year.
 

As I thought of this process, it reminded me of the tasks a client went through, for her leaky toilet. She saw water on the floor and called a plumber to replace the wax seal. That was a wonderful first step. However, she was still seeing a small about of water on the floor, so she asked me to check it out. I was able to tighten the toilet tank bolts to stop the leak. Just like the Lion’s crab feed “Do and Learn” process, she learned at each step of the repair.
 
You might notice that leaky toilets, or those that flush on their own, is #10 on The Fix-It Professionals Top 10 Most Common Home Maintenance Problems. Just like my client, maybe you, too, are experiencing a dripping toilet or one of the other top 10.
