Shopping Sign Up for July 5th and July 7th

 

Saturday list -    

  •     Saturday - Please text Jennie M if you need a spot after 6pm Friday
Monday List -
  • Monday - Please text Michelle Finley if you need a spot after 6pm 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 Jennie M 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 we 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.

Reminder: No Longer Using Civic Champs

 PCS Gleaners, 


To streamline the volunteer hours tracking system, we are going to stop using the current tracking app, Civic Champs, effective July 1st. 

We're going to back to basics here.  We will be using the hand written log on the check-out desk at PCS for tracking all volunteer hours. 

This was discussed at the last members meeting as needing adjustment for the efficiency of those who manage that data. 

If you need clarification on when to sign-in or sign-out, please contact Linda O'dell or Jennie Mikkelsen directly.

Thank you for understanding.
