Shopping sign up for Saturday August 10th and 12th

 

Saturday - Please text Patty if you need a spot after 9pm Friday

Saturday list - **Please be patient as we are adjusting to a new system and we are attempting a start time for shopping at 11:30. We will be testing the times to see if this start time works for our program. Our goal is to maintain our cleanup time and be able to serve all of our families.**


Monday - Please text Alicia if you need a spot after 9pm 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 Patty for Saturday or Alicia for Monday to get a slot prior to your name slot. We try hard to keep folks in their last name slot for fairness. 

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 Patty and I 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. Our membership is FULL and every shopping spot is important. 

Please be patient as we are adjusting to a new system and we are attempting a start time for shopping at 11:30. We will be testing the times to see if this start time works for our program. Our goal is to maintain our cleanup time and be able to serve all of our families.
