Shopping Signup for January 18th and 20th

 ***Reminder: No one is allowed to shop more than 10 minutes before the agreed upon shopping time. If there is any question about this, contact whoever is oversees distribution on your shopping day.****

Saturday list -

• Saturday - Please text Patty if you need a spot after 9pm Friday

Monday List -

• Monday - Please text Michelle Finley if you need a spot after 9pm Sunday

Sign up rule: If your time slot is full, please sign up for a later time slot in the day and add a NOTE that says (time slot full). You can also sign up for cleanup shift if the space is open. If all the slots are full after (and cleanup is full), then you can contact Patty for Saturday or Michelle Finley for Monday to get a slot prior to your name slot. We try hard to keep folks in their last name slot for fairness. Also, we do sometimes have to add slots before the shop time or double up in order to make sure every family has an opportunity to shop.

Failure to follow these directions may result in  your name being taken off and you will need to re-schedule. Please keep your personal calendar open for shopping and do not plan events around shopping time if you plan to shop and ask for us to re-schedule you. There are 2 opportunities (days) for you to shop. There are times for many reason Patty and I may ask to move you. Please be mindful we are coordinating over 150 families and just over 450 individuals. 

There are also slots for our volunteers to shop mid shopping to make the day smoother and allow for our volunteers to shop the same day. Some of the names will NOT be in the correct space because they are volunteering and pre-scheduled weekly for the slot. If you have suggestions to make this program better, we welcome them. 

Please be mindful that you click the proper day below-I made the title link easier (Click the day of the week to get to the sign up).  Please be mindful of signing up that you will actually shop. If you shop on Saturday and skip, do not call with notice, etc you will not be allowed to shop on Monday. 

Lastly, Please remember that there it is imperative to keep the shopping schedule accurate, we need shoppers to get through the shopping line without having side conversations. This is to keep the check-ins on-time and the carts in constant rotation. If you want to have conversations with the friendly members, we ask you refrain until the cart is returned.**

UPDATE: Drawing ends on January 17th Friday @ 4pm

Update: Drawing ends on January 17th Friday @ 4pm    

**PLEASE NOTE: Instructions for signing up for items must be followed or drawing entry will be voided**

You MUST plan on shopping either January  18th(Saturday) or January 20 (Monday). We will not tell you if you won or not as that is a lot of emails, etc. If you are not in town or do not plan to be shopping, then do NOT sign up. Any items not picked up by Monday shopping will be put back into the drawing for the next drawing. We do not save items unless we forget your items or we miss it on our end.

If you sign up and skip shopping or don't let us know, you will not be able to enter into the next drawing.

You can enter for ONLY 3 items. 

Example:
First Last Name - 1S (Add day of week HERE "M for Monday or "S" for Saturday)
First Last Name - 2M (Add day of week HERE "M for Monday or "S" for Saturday)

First Last Name - 3M (Add day of week HERE "M for Monday or "S" for Saturday)

Adding the day of the week after your name will help us with sorting and "hopefully" save us some time. 

NEW!!! You may enter more than once for an item. Understand that you will only win one of the item, but you may put your "tickets" in the same drawing if desired.  

Example: You really want a box of chocolates so you  use two (of your three entries) and enter 1S & 2S in the chocolate category. (Upping your chances for winning that item)  You might use your 3S entry for a different item.

Urgent: Help needed Friday, Saturday & Message from Program Manager

Help is needed now more than ever! We are finding gaps in our volunteer responsibilities. It is ever more important to get our shifts covered every week. Our donations combined with the volunteer support is an imperative combination to our programs success.

Lingy/Sunshine, our new Program Manager, has mentioned that the donations that we get will no longer be available to us if we do not show up for the donation pick-up. With that being said, our donations are in jeopardy if we continue to have difficulties with filling those positions. 

We have donation pick-up responsibilities tomorrow, Friday. The link posted below will take you to the Trader Joes pick-up. Meet at Trader Joes at 9:30 AM. 

Also, Patty, our Saturday Lead, has asked for help Saturday with the open Check-in and Check-out shifts.

I am so thankful for all of you and your dedication to the program. Let us start the year off on a strong foot so bring out a helping hand.
