Attend the Matching Breakfast

The breakfast offers you an opportunity to meet the company volunteer team captain in charge of completing your project(s), and to discuss the items listed below. It’s also a great way to start a crisp May morning! United Way will take care of the food while you take care of project details.

The Matching Breakfast makes it easy for company team captains and agency project leaders to discuss project details. The Matching Breakfast will be at Neighbors Place on May 2, 2008 from 7:30-9:30am. Here are a few questions to discuss during the meeting:

• What is the nature of work to be done?
• What skills are necessary to complete the project? Especially for construction projects.
• What is appropriate clothing?
• What are the different work tasks volunteers will need to be assigned?
• What supplies will the agency provide and what materials/tools will the volunteer team supply?
• Where is the work site located and how long will it take to get there?
• What is the rain plan? Will the project still take place? Is there a rain date? How should coordinators contact one another if it's raining in the morning?
• When can the volunteer team visit the project site prior to DOC?

To make this event most efficient, please bring enough staff to be able to meet with different company team captains at the same time, especially if you have numerous projects.

If you are unable to attend the breakfast, it is imperative that you touch base with the your company volunteer teams well in advance of DOC, and plan on a site visit to the project location.
