Volunteers Needed For Coffee Duty
Friday, July 13, 2007 Filed in: MUG News
We are looking for a few volunteers who will be willing to take over responsibility for picking up coffee for our monthly MacPeople meetings. It's really simple and no technical knowledge or public speaking is required!
All you need to do is call the Starbucks of your choice a few hours before the meeting and order two coffee travelers for the meeting (one regular, one decaf), then on your way to the meeting pickup and pay for the coffee (Currently $25.50). Save your receipt and John will reimburse you that night at the meeting. Of course if you find a better way to provide coffee for the meeting for the same or less cost, that's perfectly acceptable as well.
This is something very simple to do that would be a great help to the MacPeople officers, it's only a detour of a few minutes. The only thing required is that you regularly attend meetings or if you are unable to attend find someone who would be able to cover for that month. If we could get a few volunteers together, this would help spread out the burden.
Coffee lovers take note- if we are unable to find volunteers who can take over this responsibility we may or may not be able to provide coffee at future meetings.
Please email Corey if you are able to help.
