Mrs - childrens work

Church is setting up heads of ministries, part of moving towards a 'purpose driven church' model.

The person put in charge of children's work is of course a man, who runs one sunday school class, one of the Vicar's pets, while Mrs who does loads of work with kids in the church has been overlooked/ignored/rejected as usual. (I don't mean any disrespect to the man - he is very good at everything he does - its just that he hasn't got much history with the kids work)

But once she had got over that hurt, she has seized the opportunity to have a meeting with the said boss, in the presence of the Vicar, where she will make her case for the work she has been doing and for a major extension to it, moving into other age groups. This will all be subserviently under the supervision of the new man, but somehow the message will get across that she is the one with the ideas, skills, passion, drive, and time to do the job.

Alternatively, she could go and grab the Vicar, slap him round the head several times and shout "HELLO! I EXIST!!!" into his face - so I think the above is the better option.
