A Revised Volunteer Schedule for Winter Skate Day

Subject: Winter Skate Day moved to Sunday. Hello volunteers, yesterday's refrigeration inspection found that the west rink needs a valve replaced before it can reopen. The repair is expected to finish Friday, but the ice then requires a full day to settle. For that reason, Winter Skate Day will run on Sunday, January 19, instead of Saturday. The public hours remain noon to four. We know a date change can disrupt plans, so please reply by Thursday at noon even if you can no longer attend. We need four people at check-in from 11:15 to 1:30, three at the skate-lending table from 11:15 to 2:00, and four refreshment volunteers from 1:15 to 4:30. A short orientation begins at 10:45 for anyone handling skates or cash. Returning volunteers assigned only to refreshments may arrive at 1:00. The town shuttle stops at the arena every thirty minutes on Sundays, and volunteer bus vouchers are available on request. Please do not drive into the service lane; repair crews will still be moving equipment there. Thank you for being flexible. Hi Sasha, I can help on Sunday, although the first shuttle from my neighbourhood does not reach the arena until 11:05. I volunteered at check-in last year and completed workplace first-aid training in November. If the 10:45 orientation repeats material I already know, could I join check-in when I arrive? Otherwise, I can take the 11:15 shuttle and work the refreshment shift instead. I requested a medium volunteer vest on the original form, but my cousin, Dev, can lend me his large one if the supply box is already packed. One other question: I was going to bring two insulated drink dispensers. Should I still bring them now that I may not be working refreshments? I can drop them with the morning crew if they are needed. Best, Malik. Hi Malik, I appreciate the clear alternatives. Please take the skate-lending shift from 11:15 to 2:00. The orientation is mandatory for that station because it covers the new barcode log and this year's fitting procedure; first-aid training does not replace it. I can repeat the key points for you at 11:10 beside the staff entrance, so your earlier shuttle should still work. I have reserved a medium vest, so there is no need to borrow Dev's. Please bring the dispensers. Farah, the refreshment lead, will meet you at the staff entrance and take them before your briefing. I have attached a bus voucher. It is valid on the town shuttle for both your trip to the arena and your return that day. After your shift, please hand your station clipboard to Renée, who starts at two, rather than leaving it on the table. Thanks again, Sasha. Thanks, Sasha. That plan works. I will take the earlier shuttle, meet Farah with both dispensers at the staff entrance, and be ready for your 11:10 briefing. I will work at skate lending until Renée arrives, then give her the clipboard directly. Since the voucher covers the return trip too, I will leave my car at home. Please let me know only if the repair changes the event again; otherwise, I will see you Sunday. Malik.
