Sign-ins

Everyone present needs to sign in. Use http://calc.meshwith.me/fgseavolunteerhours2i4j2po3ihrio423hrpo23y4r79t898iuhquijahjlihy9 to track sign-ins and hours.

Boxcutter has made a sign-in sheet for us to use, if for some reason the above link does not work.

Orientation

Each workshop will begin with a New Volunteer Orientation for any new volunteers that arrive. Please see New Volunteer Orientation HOWTO if you are conducting a workshop and need guidance on how to conduct an Orientation.

Additionally, please have all new volunteers complete the volunteer sign-up sheet & read through the orientation packet

Hardware

If you're doing any recycling or refurbishing, there's a small set of tools available in a small black folder. There's a small and a large hex driver, a Torx driver, and some screwdrivers and a grounding strap. Please make sure all these tools go back in the folder after the meeting. There are also some little plastic bins for spacers, stand-offs and screws.

There's a box labelled "Recycling", which is there to collect parts destined for recycle. We have still to coordinate our recycling efforts. Total Reclaim closes at 16:30, 3R at 18:00. If the meeting runs later than that, please make some arrangement to get the recycling done. We need to keep parts moving out of inventory so that we can receive new donations.
