There are several activities coming up where we'll need your help:
-- Radiothon: Contact Becky Lee (Katie Rader's mom) and Karen Schindwolf (Michelle Schindwolf 's mom)
-- Chaperones (a few at least) for the Sat., Nov. 5th, AYS Fall Party: Contact Peggie Findlay (B.J. Dorsey's mom) or Mike Kruchoski (480-5000) .
-- Luminaria Sales Database: Contact Mike Kruchoski (480-5000). More info here:
After the selection and organization of workhouses, timely and accurate luminaria sales data entry is likely the next biggest factor contributing to a smooth Luminaria Day. Consider the magnitude of the task: last year there were over 2,100 customers who ordered more than 11,000 dozen luminarias -- and this year we're aiming for 13,000 dozen! That's a LOT of information to keep track of.
Although the database is complex and robust, it can be hosted on only one computer, which means data entry must be done at one location. Also, data entry must be completed by Nov 19th in order to prepare and distribute the delivery packets to the workhouse hosts a few days later.
We need six to ten people to take several "shifts" doing the data entry, possibly as two-person teams to speed the process, relieve the boredom, and to double check one another's work.
