An Empty Open House

Can someone tell me why in the world I'd spend time doing something that nobody would show up for? I can't figure it out either. When I ran for this office, many folks told me that they'd like to have an opportunity to talk to their elected officials, to hear what's going on, etc., but they can't always make Board meetings and can't get to Town Hall during business hours. So...we've been having quarterly open houses for two years. For the first couple, people came. Nobody showed for the one we held today...and they didn't show in August, either.

What does that mean? Likely that we're not going to do another one until May. I see no reason to host one in February to disrupt the weekend of our staff members that have to be here for it when nobody's going to take advantage of it.

Your thoughts?
