Hello all,
There are a few changes to volunteer and shopping signups. Please pay attention to times. We have been running into people signing up to shop during their volunteer time so I have added spots in shopping signups for the check-in and check-out shifts. They are clearly marked on both the volunteer signup and the shopping signup. If you sign up for a check-in or check-out shift you will still need to add your name to the shopping sign up.
It is very important that we have people sign up to both volunteer and to shop. When you don't signup it creates extra work behind the scenes. It is vital to our program that we have people sign up to volunteer for all shifts. There are about 10 shifts right now that are not being signed up for consistently. When these are left open it creates more work for those who do sign up and for Linda and myself. Linda's and my family put in anywhere from 120 to 200 hours per month and it is really starting to wear on us to not only do what we are supposed to do but fill in when we have openings. We try to lead by example and make sure that you all not only have to opportunity to shop but that we keep our doors open. We really need everyone's help to keep this program running. We all know that adoptees are not required to volunteer, however we highly encourage adoptees to volunteer in any capacity that you can.
Starting in April we will be doing application renewals, there will be a separate email regarding how renewals will be conducted this year. After we get all renewals done we will open applications back up to new people and that process will also be explained in the renewal email.
Thank you,
Co-Coordinator
