[Bookstoprisoners] new experimental work hours

[Sand and Sea Sells Used Books Etc.]

Maybe move it to 1-3 for added hours.  This would also give people time to eat lunch after church or to sleep in after a rough Saturday night :) Sorry Niloofar, but I won't be any help covering this time slot as key staff because of another commitment.  I do think this gives our students with the weekend off another opportunity to work on a day that they have off from classes and other events held usually on Saturdays.  

My suggestion would be to try it for a while and see how it goes.  Put it on our web calendar but not make any changes to pamphlets or other pages on the web site. Send out an email to the whole B2P list to let them know of the new work session. Then we can make a decision at our October meeting and if it flies, put it on our flyers permanently.  In the meantime I can put a note on the doors about the new time.  Just let me know!

  That would indeed be a bonus, although they're currently  open between 2 & 4 while I'll be at btp only till 2.  I can change the time slot to 12-3 to have some overlap with the bike coop.  What does everyone think?

    I bet the fact that the Bike project operates on Sunday afternoons will help bring some walk-in's who are curious about what else happens in the building and notice us while they're buying or dropping off a bike next door.  Maybe some signage in the hall inviting people to drop in and say hello (and have a snack?) would encourage them, as I think the bike coop draws many non-IMC'ers to the IMC.

      Hello All,

      After consulting with several seasoned btpers, I've decided to key-staff a work session on Sundays, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on a trial basis.  I encourage non-key-staff volunteers to consider joining me during these hours.  If we manage to attract a fair number of volunteers over the next few Sundays, I'd be appealing to our key-staff to volunteer as my back up.  I promise not to exploit this generosity.  Please  get the word around about this time slot informally until further notice.  Thanks!
