Still Needed
Girls Scouts Indiana is looking for cookie cupboard volunteers. The cupboard is where area troops come and get additional cookies to fill their orders. Shifts to be filled:
- Monday, February 11 - 2:00-4:00
- Tuesday, February 12 - 2:00-6:00
- Wednesday, February 13 - 2:00-4:00
- Thursday February 14 - 9:00-1:00
- Friday February 15 - 9:00-1:00
to basically do the following:
- Greet our Cookie Moms and/or Dads
- Distribute order sheets (if necessary) to the Cookie Mom/Dad to be completed before cookies are distributed. Some troops call or email their orders ahead of time which eliminates this step.
- Check to make sure the individual has their Access Card. This is a card that is issued to the appropriate individual authorizing them to pick up cookies for a particular troop.
- Distributes the cookies.
- Signs the order sheet and gives the Cookie Mom/Dad their copy and retains the remaining copies for daily verification.
There is lifting and reaching involved. The cookies are packaged in cases of 12 boxes which aren't heavy or bulky but they are stacked 10 cases high and there will be repetitive motion, such as bending. To sign up, email Susan or call 317-924-6896.
