The Calendar: What it means and How to Do It

Hello Friends,

At our meeting earlier this week we established an on line help calendar with several slots and roles for each day. The link to the calendar is at the top of the blog entitled Calendar Link and the roles are as follows:
 
AM: The morning person calls Karen the night before to see what her morning schedule is. She may have an appointment for you to drive her to, or need a grocery shop. laundry or some cleaning. She will let you know how she needs your help. The AM slot should cover from about 8 or 9:00 to about 12 or 1.

PM: The PM and AM persons should touch base at some time during the morning to establish where Karen will be for the AM to PM switch off. The PM person may have to pick Karen up somewhere and then either drop her off or bring her home.   The ideal PM slot should cover from about 12 or 1 to about 5pm.
Please note that AM & PM shifts will sometimes not have anything to do and sometimes there may be several drives and/or chores.    Karen's schedule often changes very quickly due to doctors appointments and her every changing transfusion schedule.  (Wouldn't it be great if they were further apart?)
  
SUPPER: The supper person is responsible for contacting Karen at some point during the day and finding our what she would like for supper. You might be able to prepare something in advance, or depending on what she's got going on you might be able cook at her place. Washing up after supper is super helpful. This is not a night shift, it's just a supper call.

LEADERS: There should be two leaders each week, starting on Monday and ending on Sunday. The leaders are responsible for making sure that all the calendar slots are filled for the week. If there are slots that need to be filled, the leaders should make calls to fill them. The leaders are also the touch point people should any complications or last minute cancellations come up during the week. They are responsible for making calls to trouble shoot and/or find substitutes.

Sooo ... please visit the calendar link and sign up where you can. Please enter your name, the time you are available, and your phone number. You must double click on the line where you want to write. Sometimes it takes a few seconds. When you are finished, just close the page. It saves automatically. 

If you are having any troubles or would like the CONTACT LIST of other helpers emailed to you, please contact me at ebudziak@aol.com.

Thank you for helping. Karen appreciates this beyond words!

Best to all,
Emily
