Senior Manager report

This has been a long and hard year for Counseling as it has for all departments. Our staff has grown tremendously in order to accomodate several new Guild addtions and so we have found the revolving door syndrome has struck us for the first time.
When I think about the past and where we started from which was one homepage, yes that was it designed by none other than the now Commodore RDMG. It amazes me that a staff of six, then 12 managed all the things we provided for the community.

Counseling Department has evolved into a vital part of the community through the wonderful people that give so freely of their time to the chatters. These are the ones you don't see because they are talking to those that need a friend. They are always there do not fear but often can not take time to be in the chat as much cause someone needs a friend.

We have never however lost our focus or purpose and that is to be here for Outpost 10F membership. Each project ever created in counseling was always conceived to incorporate how to draw in the members, give them a place to participate and to encourage them to be a vital part of our community. We are dependant on the members for without them the Counseling Department would cease to exist and we will never forget them or our purpose. Each project success or failure is by the grace of Outpost 10F members and they have never failed us. Their continued support is always there. We are grateful that we have had the opportunity to encourage and work with our people.

People come and go in a department and that is just part of the beast. Most leave because of real life committments or changes in their position within the community. Others leave because of college or school issues, parents, or some think they want to be in a department and soon find that we really work and it demands reliability and responsibility. Then some find the work does not suit them or they just rather play in the chat. A few even leave cause of political conflict or anger that has to be included but there are those that make an impact on a department and so those I will list here as memorable officers in the Counseling Department.
