Volunteer Notes

Volunteers: Please mark registered participants off the list with a check mark. Any participants that do not show up can be marked with an "NS" next to their name for "no show". Please wait until 5 minutes after the start of the program to allow anyone who was not registered to join. Only do this if the program has room because others did not show up. Folks who are not registered must wait to the side until all registered participants have been checked in. You can make your own "first come, first serve" list of walk-up participants at the bottom of the participant list to keep track of people who are waiting.
