The new hours, on trial from today, worked well. FIG members rolled in steadily instead of bursting through the door in an almighty rush, seemingly at once! It's not official yet, however if the co-op days continue as they did today, we will no doubt adopt 2.30-5pm as our new hours.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions; we really take them on board so appreciate your efforts in thinking how to improve and streamline FIG.
It's great to see so many volunteers rostering on, however many of you are forgetting to sign off before leaving. Please look up the attendance sheet in the red folder on the desk and date/sign your name... thank you! If you haven't volunteered as yet, please add your name to the roster in the red folder for a day you can assist.
At present, FIG requires SIX people to help set up between 1 & 2.30pm each week, with an extra one, perhaps two, to help process the bulk fruit/vegie orders when they arrive. Pack up requires two extras every week and we'd like an extra one person to assist David and more people to train for the desk job. Today we had the most numbers of boxes going out we have ever had in FIG history, and it worked as well as it did because of all the volunteers who attended today. We even had one of our farmers volunteering again today, as if she doesn't already have enough to do! A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE.
The next FIG management meeting may be held one week earlier as the normal day falls on a public holiday. Up for further discussion will be the membership fee structure and whether we introduce a tiered fee for the coming new FIG year (from 1t July) - ie, one lower fee for members who are able to volunteer and one higher fee for those who cannot volunteer for whatever reason. We would really like member imput on this and hopefully your attendance at the meeting. Watch out for confirmation of date; it will be advised as soon as possible to all members in an email.
See you at the co-op...
