Ahhhhh.... Needed!

Reason #839 why you should never give up when it's something important! The weekend volunteer sign-up frustration was really just a tech glitch. Lucky that I sucked it up and dialed Glide Memorial today to see why I was such a Loser Volunteer. Honestly, you couldn't help but feel bad for Shirley Cherry, Glide's Volunteer Resource Program Administrator. She sounded a bit tired when I spoke to her this morning. She didn't know what happened, she said. "It was working Friday."

When I talked to Shirley, she was still working on the problem but promised to send an email when the the situation un-glitched. And she did. (Thanks!)

Hello,

GLIDE has been experiencing technical difficulties with our Volunteer website. It has been corrected.
Please go on-line to schedule your holiday volunteering with GLIDE.

Thank You!

So now our family has signed up to volunteer. We've even received our confirming emails! Ahhhhhh... Thanksgiving Volunteer Sign-up -- mission accomplished. Now we're looking forward to starting our Thanksgiving morning at Glide, helping serve food to others.

After that .... I guess we need to do a little work on that. Compared to this volunteer sign-up hurdle, though, I've got to believe that will be easy.


Are you looking to volunteer in San Francisco this holiday season? Our family brought the number of volunteers shifts in the 10:30 a.m. slot on Thanksgiving from 111 to 106. But as I write this, there's still space in that and lots of other shifts. But hurry. Shirley Cherry says they do fill quickly -- just not as quickly as it seemed Saturday morning.
