How'd We Do?

Recruitment goals were surpassed, resulting in each unit having plenty of extra, well trained volunteers. Attrition was so low that volunteers had to be asked to leave after their shift so that volunteers from the next shift could get their turn. The puppets arrived safely in Times Square on time every hour and dazzled the millions in the audience live and around the world.
"You did a great job of pulling together the many volunteers needed to make Times Square 2000 work. The training sessions were terrific and the organization of the production areas ran without a hitch. Thanks for all your help, patience and valuable input. It was great working with you."
- Executive Producer, Times Square 2000.
