Learn Something New Every Day

One of the handiest proofreading tools is to break our brains' pattern of skimming over often-seen information. If you read the text backwards (word by word i.e. England in born was John) you are more likely to catch mistakes that you might otherwise miss. For Greeters, try “scanning” a profile backwards.

I would like to give a shout out to our incredible Greeter Group who banded together and approached the new joining process with excitement and dedication. I'm sure a few were a little nervous - but they did an admirable job and jumped into their shifts like it was just another day. 

What incredible Greeters we have! Thank you all!
