Please Sign Up for Luminary Kits Assembly, Saturday, December 7
Please sign up, using our SignUpGenius, for Luminary Kits Assembly, Saturday, December 7, starting at 10:00 AM.
We hope to be completed with our assembly tasks by around 10:45 AM, the same as last year, when 32 volunteers, including 12 youth, completed assembly for 901 kits for the 838 homes in Colonial Hills. Volunteers for any task can include any youth middle-school age or older, and this event is an excellent opportunity for high school seniors to add one missing CHCA event credit for their scholarship application in 2024 before their schedule gets even more crazy!
Please sign up for one of these positions:
- Inside the shelter house component assembly (up to 2 volunteers per each of the 8 workstations)
- Outside the shelter house component assembly (up to 9 volunteers, plus the Event Chair)
- Bundling supervisor (1 volunteer)
- Pea gravel shovelers (up to 8 volunteers), who are requested to bring their own standard-size, pointed-tip garden shovel. There will be teams of two people at each of the 4 shoveling station chairs. Each shoveling team can decide how long each member will shovel, while the other team member holds open the grocery bags (team members could switch roles halfway through)
- Bundles concierge (1 volunteer)
- Take down / clean up (1 volunteer)
The same as the previous three years, signing up via our SignUpGenius for a given position and arriving about 5 to 10 minutes before 10:00 AM, will reserve this position for you. After all reserved positions have been filled, we will assign those volunteers who didn’t sign up beforehand, to fill any remaining inside and outside positions — and please note that we very much appreciate all volunteers, whether previously signed up or not, and we have always been able to find a position for everyone.
Dunkin’ donuts, coffee and hot chocolate will be served, and plenty of hand sanitizer will be provided inside the shelter house.
Regarding the Trustees picking up their bundles of kits for their Districts: We are asking the Trustees to start coming over no earlier than 11:30 AM on Saturday morning to pick up their bundles, so as not to increase the number of people present in the shelter house area during the kit assembly timeframe, which is expected to be 10:00 AM to about 11:30 AM, especially if it is not raining too hard that day.
Light Your Luminaries! Our luminary display evening will be Sunday, December 15, starting at 7:00 PM per the instructions which will be enclosed in each resident’s luminary kit.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or if you encounter any difficulty using our event’s SignUpGenius.
Thank you,
