Front
Desk
All
next
week
(August
20-24th),
Jon
(our
Office
Manager)
needs
to
catch
up
on
a
few
tasks
throughout
the
center.
In
order
to
accomplish
this,
we
are
looking
to
staff
the
front
desk
with
wonderful
volunteers from
9am
to
5pm
each
day.
If
you
have
worked
the
front
desk
before,
please
let
me
know
if
you
would
be
willing
to
take
a
shift
next
week!
If
you
are
new
to
the
front
desk,
but
are
interested
in
helping
out,
let
me
know
ASAP
so
that
Jon
and
I
can
train
you!
Greeters
We
have
lost
our
wonderful
Tuesday
and
Wednesday
night
greeters
due
to
job
changes.
Therefore,
we
are
looking
for
replacements.
If
you
think
you
might
like
to
sit
at
the
front
desk
with
our
evening
receptionists,
guide
center
users
to
their
appropriate
meeting
rooms,
take
down
demographic
information
of
center
traffic,
and
just
be
the
first
smiling
face
people
see
as
they
enter
our
facility,
Greeting
is
for
you!
The
commitment
is
weekly
from
around
6-9pm
each
evening.
Interested?
