This week we are busy getting things ready for our last big work day, first volunteer training, and family orientation and sign-up for our after-school program! I am so glad to be here doing this! When I got a facebook message back in June telling about the after-school programs BigHouse planned to start in August, I had a strong jealousy to be there doing it, not just watching from a distance. And here I am - working my proverbial tail off.
I am in charge of volunteer training which means I've written the volunteer handbook, gathered supplies, compiled the volunteer email list, organized the volunteer office, all while doing 100 other small things around the building. (And not so small things too.) We have 2 hour training sessions on Saturday and Sunday. We will have additional training sessions for new volunteers as needed one Sunday per month.
I've made another list of things to buy at Dollar Tree/Walmart/Sam's. I signed us up for a Sam's Club Membership on Monday - not as easy as you would think. We got a good amount of snack supplies there.
So now I'm headed out to run our errands!
