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.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><font size="4"

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.</div></div></div><div><br></div><div>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</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><font size="4" style="line-height:normal;"><b style="line-height:23px;"><u>Gift Wrapping</u></b></font></div><div>The 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.</div><div><br></div><div>When there is time the wrappers also wrap advance book copies as gifts for customers who spend over a certain amount.</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone needs tips or a quick lesson on gift wrapping, we will be glad to assist you.</div><div><br></div><div>The store provides gift wrap paper, scissors, tape, ribbon, jar for donations, chairs to sit.</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><font size="4"
style="line-height:normal;"><b style="line-height:23px;"><u>How to sign-up</u></b></font></div><div>To sign up for a shift please respond to this email or call me on my cell. At this point<b> DO NOT CALL THE STORE.</b></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt;">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. </span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><font size="4" style="line-height:normal;"><b style="line-height:23px;"><u>Attendance</u></b></font></div><div>It 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. " <i>No shows</i>" could jeopardize this opportunity for next year.
</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b><font size="4" style="line-height:normal;"><u style="line-height:23px;">Parking</u></font></b></div><div>Ample free parking. Because of the Holiday season you may have to circle around a bit.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><font size="4" style="line-height:normal;"><b style="line-height:23px;"><u>Garb</u></b></font></div><div>It 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.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><font size="4" style="line-height:normal;"><b style="line-height:23px;"><u>Dining</u></b></font></div><div>There 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.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><font size="4" style="line-height:normal;"><b style="line-height:23px;"><u>Changing rooms</u></b></font></div><div>The 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.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt;">Thank you Everyone.
