Thank you both! I sometimes wonder if I am the only person who gets tangled up in stuff like this

I do tell them ahead of time that we'll have to reschedule if it rains (liked your pun, there ), so it's not a surprise. I may take a break from bringing people along after this one. It just gets too complicated and turns my favorite volunteer gig into an ordeal. In hindsight, I have been using this as a sort of counter-invite for some of the people I've met who keep inviting me to things I have no interest in. No wonder I dread going with them
