William E. Christoffersen Salt Lake Veterans Nursing Home

Hello Volunteers!

I sent this message out earlier. Only 21 volunteers have read this message. If you have not yet gone onto the calendar here and signed up for your shifts for the month, I will assume that you are no longer interested in volunteering and you will be removed as a volunteer. Please make sure you are signing up for your shifts on the calendar. This is for the benefit of our residents and for your schedules.

We are doing something a little different this month. You all have your specific days that you are assigned to come in and volunteer. You will keep those specific days, but you will now go into the EVENTS sign up page each month and sign up for the shifts you will be here.

This way you will know exactly what you will be doing when you get here and I will have an accurate count of who will be here at what times.

If you are coming at a time that is already full, you will sign up to do one on ones instead.

If you are coming at a time that there is no sign up available for, you will do a one on one during that time and you will sign up under that category.

IF you have signed up for a time and need to change your time for whatever reason, un sign up for that event and re-sign up under the event later on that you will be coming to in order to make up the hours you are missing. When you sign up for the new event, just leave me a note there that says you will be coming at this time instead of your usual time. There will no longer be a need to send me a separate e-mail when you are sick or have to change your schedule.

If you are a volunteer that has a variable schedule, make sure you are signing up for 4 hours of events for the month.
The easiest way is to just go in once at the beg. of the month and sign up for all your shifts in one go.

We will test this out and see how it goes this month. This will hopefully give us a better account of who will and will not be volunteering at each event during the day and help each of you be more organized and not miss your shifts. Let me know what you think!
