Thursday help for Target needed

 Hello all,

We need 2 people to help on Thursday. 

1. someone to ride with Timmy all day 7:30 - 2:30? or when done for the Target pickup. After you do the target run, Timmy and helper will drive the truck and a vehicle to return the rental to OSU Campus. Then, Timmy can give a ride home to his helper or can come back to PCS for their vehicle. 

2. Someone to give Timmy and the helper a ride from PCS to the Motor Pool on the OSU Campus at 7:35 am. This is a quick helper person - will take about an hour. 

Please message Patty to sign up to help.

Friendly reminder: Kindness Matters

Just sending out a reminder about being kind to one another at all times. 

While shopping, if someone is taking a little longer to shop, please kindly ask them if you can go around. We can get backed up and it can get busy, please be patient with others, use kind words, and be of good spirit. 

We do try to get through in 6 minutes but it realistically is someone  new starts every 6 minutes. So even if that is 3 people shopping, that is 18 minutes. Let's not be a turtle or a road runner. The steady ones win the race.

If you are in a hurry, please ask if you can go around but also try to schedule your time to allow ample time to shop. 

We are a community of volunteers. We never know what struggle someone is having so be patient with others, show kindness and 

Laundry Detergent and Dryer sheets - Homemade

Some conversation today came up that we have not had laundry soap in a while. This is true. I have made my own before and it is really really easy to do. You can do a dry scoop kind or you can do a liquid kind. 

Here are a few links but just google it and find one you like:

In my search for this today, a post came up of homemade dryer sheets -- I was intrigued as this was new to me!

Garden Hours are at the bottom of the page. This is the LAST WEEK of the garden for the year. 

Remember, you can get 2 alternative hours per month (Child care for another gleaner so they can 

volunteer, bring in bottles to return for deposit 1/2 hour for each kitchen size bag, or volunteer in the garden. 

NEW MEMBERS: There is a sign  in and sign out sheet at the desk where we check out. You are responsible for writing down your 

hours on the sheet so that we can enter them in our data system. Please note that we don't keep track and we can't tell you how many

hours you have mid month. The best advice I have it to send yourself a text or email to track your own hours. And, make sure to 

write it down on the volunteer sheet. 

Garden is closed so you will see those hours have been taken off the volunteer sheet.
