"Lesson Learned" - Please describe an instant where your house has had an issue (e.g. trouble with events, house dynamics, logistics etc.) and discuss how the house resolved the issue, and what was learned.
A few months back we had a spiritual salon planned with the rabbinical intern from synagogue in Hoboken. The rabbinical intern was going to lead the discussion and many community members were looking forward to this event. The day of the event the rabbinical intern was sick and we were not informed until a few hours before the event. The community members were not only excited for this event but had also rearranged their schedules to be able to come. We didn't feel that it was fair to cancel the event at the last minute, but it was too late for us to prepare a new discussion from scratch. With only a few hours to spare we decided to have an Israeli night. We bought hummus, pita, made falafel, and watched The Zohan. Everyone who came was very understanding of our changing the event and they all had a great time. Both my roommates and myself had to come together at the last minute to create a new event, when we could have just as easily canceled the event altogether (but we didn't want to let down our community members). We didn't let the stress get the best of us and we were able to come together as a house and create a successful event, even if it was at the last minute.

HI
That was a good example for the point you are trying to make. I am a medical student and what I am planning to do when I graduate and have my own clinic is to make sure that I follow-up on my patients and giving their next appointment dates.
