A New Year, a New Idea

Thank you again for all your work.  It is appreciated.  If someone would like to add up the 2011 hours recorded in the Volunteer Notebook, please feel free to do that.  (Over half the year is already added, so not quite the daunting task as it first appears.)

I would like to create a “Volunteer On-Call List”.  I hope that doesn’t sound too ominous, but things come up occasionally where it would be helpful.  Some of you have indicated that you are willing to come in on an “as need” basis, so I would like to formalize that with your permission.

Following are some of my thoughts for how this would work:

• Simply email me or let me know next time you stop in if you are interested.
• You can have your name on the list without being obligated to come if called.
• If you are called, the time frame could be same day, within the hour or two if someone calls in sick, or possibly several days notice if a project or program comes up.
• You could specify when you are interested in being “on call”.  For example: only during the evening, Saturdays, summertime, etc.
• I don’t think this would be utilized often, but there are times when it could be a great help to the staff.

If you have questions or are interested in being on the list, just let me know.

Thanks so much, Mary
