Hello friends,
We have had to make a few changes recently. I (Alicia) are no longer able to be available on Mondays. We do have new leaders as of this past week.
Mondays
1st, 2nd, & 3rd Mondays will be Michelle Finley. She has been helping lead the past few months. Her number will be listed on the volunteer form as well as on the blog to the right hand side. .
4th and 5th (when we have a 5th) will be Jen Love. Jen has been the veggie queen for years, knows how the Monday team runs, etc and will be a great leader! Jen used to lead our Wedneday distribution pre-covid.
Sandy Heath will be a Monday backup for all Mondays. Your first point of contact for Mondays should be Michelle and Jen.
I am still doing my best manage the job of the secretary until 12/31/2024 and make sure folks are trained to keep things running smoothly. I have been training Michelle Reeves for the past 5-6 months as my backup in case of emergency. At this point, my family has immediate needs and I can not be focused on the program. We have due dates that must be adhered to for LBFS and Michelle R has been meeting all of them. Thank you Michelle.
Jennie W has been doing all the setup of the Sign up Genius forms online. She send the list to Anna to post (Karyn as a backup blog poster). She is not your point of contact, but you should know we have a lot of helpers to get a week of volunteering put together.
Anna has been helping with posting to the blog and setting up gleans. Anna can help you sign up to volunteer or with shopping. If you have changes to your volunteering and can't figure it out, she is your contact. Please let her know you need help and how she can help you. Her email is gleaners.volunteer@philomathcommunityservices.org
Karyn has joined the team to help with posting to the blog, helping with Civic Champs, making sure people get their hours in (with the collaboration of Patty). Please be kind if you get a letter for hours as we are all human and she is just doing what the data says. You can be the most helpful by making sure you get your hours in monthly so she doesn't have to send you a letter! Anna and Karyn share an email so please add who you are writing to: gleaners.volunteer@philomathcommunityservices.org
As many of you know, Patty and Timmy have given their notice and we are encouraged that there are volunteers who are willing to take on volunteer positions. Nominations are up right now and you can nominate yourself or a friend.
Alicia
