Charity GroupsDuring
 the Holiday season Nicola offers local charity groups the opportunity 
to gift wrap purchases that shoppers have made.  There is no set charge,
 but the groups get to keep any donations that are made.  The SCA 
qualifies because it is an educational not-for-profit group.

SchedulingThe Barony has chosen to gift wrap on:
Sat, Nov 17Nicola's Annual Holiday SaleThur, Nov 15 through Sun, Nov 18, 2012
and 
Sat, Nov 24, 2012Thanksgiving weekend.
These
 are two of the busiest days of the year besides Black Friday and 
Christmas Eve.   The store will be crowded.  The lines will be long. 
 Your presence last year made the environment a pleasant place to be. 
 The staff is looking forward to that again.
Only
 one person is needed during the last hour of business.  The last shift 
starts at 7pm.  Between 7p-8p, that person could possibly wrap advance 
copies in preparation for the next business day

Gift WrappingThe
 table is located at the front of the store near the cash wrap.   Two 
people can maneuver well.  With more than two the space gets crowded. 
 You can bring flyers and the sign, if you like.  The gift wrapping is 
donation only.  The customers will give what they feel the service is 
worth.  They are usually very grateful.
When there is time the wrappers also wrap advance book copies as gifts for customers who spend over a certain amount.
If anyone needs tips or a quick lesson on gift wrapping, we will be glad to assist you.
The store provides gift wrap paper, scissors, tape, ribbon, jar for donations, chairs to sit.

How to sign-upTo sign up for a shift please respond to this email or call me on my cell.  At this point DO NOT CALL THE STORE.
The
 store will be extending invitations to several other local groups to 
gift wrap.  I will let the group know when the entire schedule is posted
 and ready for open sign-up.  

AttendanceIt
 is very important that you show up for your shift on time.  If you 
cannot come, try to find a replacement from the group.  If you cannot 
work your shift and cannot find a replacement you must call the store. 
" No shows" could jeopardize this opportunity for next year.  

ParkingAmple free parking.  Because of the Holiday season you may have to circle around a bit.

GarbIt
 would be helpful to wear garb.  This will let the public know who you 
are at a glance.  It tends to get warm with so many people in the store.
  Dressing in layers is suggested.

DiningThere
 are several good eateries in and around the shopping center   Choices 
are Thai, Middle Eastern,  Chinese,  Zingerman's,  The Quarter,  Kroger 
Deli.   There are many fast food establishments nearby.

Changing roomsThe
 public restroom is large enough for women to change into garb if 
needed.  I am not sure about the men's room.  There is a storage room 
upstairs that is mostly empty during the Holiday season.  It could be 
used for men, if necessary.



Thank you Everyone.  This service is greatly appreciated.
