Old Business
Revisit the Holiday Hours – Christmas Eve we will only be open from 12:00 – 2:45 so that our volunteers can go home. Please plan accordingly
New Business
Why do we write new policies?
If you sign up under a certain name, you MUST use the same name. For instance, John Dunlap and Jill Styles shop together. They can’t choose who has the best name toward the top of the list. You must pick 1 and shop at that time, even if the person with the last name isn’t with you.
We still require 5 hours for Volunteer time.
Being on time - being late for your volunteer shift affects other volunteers. If you can not be on time, please do not sign up.
Cooler update
Open Questions and Answers -- What's going well, what’s not?
REMINDERS:
Gleaners need to sign up at least once for a cleanup shift
You are allowed to volunteer more than 5 hours per month.
We need to discuss if we have a Valentine meeting or postpone a week?
Next monthly member meeting will be February 14???, 2022
