Feel free to open the call with pleasantries, then a few minutes after the call's start - time, dive into the around-the-room report.  As a reminder, here are the questions we recommend asking:

Go "around the room" so each person can report on their MTD work (couples can report together). This helps to make sure everyone shares. 

• Number The number of Financial Asks. (Feel free to inquire how it went.)
• Something you’re thankful for in MTD this week
• Something that's working or a question or discussion item for your group → [If they can’t think of anything] What would make this call helpful for you today?
• Action items update - see last week's column on the Action Items Spreadsheet
• Optional: What’s in the way? What are some of the obstacles in your MTD work?

We also wanted to also introduce the full cycle because that's what extends beyond the "thank you" in how to cultivate special-gift donors to give again.
