The fall season has started, and NoVES is back in full swing for the year. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make September events go smoothly, especially all the NoVES board members. At each meeting we have been increasing the number of people who attend, so that is good news for NoVES!
For October, we need help from the membership to continue our stride towards rejuvenation. The first step involves reviving teams for set-up of the Green Hedges School for our Platform meetings. The board took care of this for September, but now we are asking our members and friends to participate in this important job. As we have done in the past, we will divide the work by alphabet. Here is the plan for the year ahead:
1st Sunday of the Month- Members whose last names start with A-M
3rd Sunday of the Month- Members whose last names start with N-Z
For each meeting, the members in each group are asked to arrive by 10:15am. We want to have the room set up by 10:30am. The set up of the room involves putting out chairs and setting up the greeters table, front table and coffee/food tables. We also ask these members to bring snacks for the coffee table. There will be a board member at each meeting that will help members with any questions about the work that needs to be done. The set-up will go much faster and be more fun with many people helping!
If you are unable to come early for your normally assigned week, please either switch with a member from the other group, or come to the next in-person platform and assist that group. If we all arrive early once a month, this will help us to greet visitors better and have more time to visit together. If you are not able help set up due to personal reasons, we hope you can bring a snack and help with clean-up. Everyones help is greatly appreciated. NoVES is stronger when all its' members and friends work together to make Sunday Platforms successful!
