Arrival:
• Please arrive on time (8:30am for morning shifts, 12:30pm for afternoon shifts)! Signing in, the safety lecture and instructions take time to complete and all volunteers must be present to avoid delaying the fun part!
• Upon arriving at the work site, please sign in and make a nametag. It will take some time to get all the volunteers ready and instructed on the day's tasks. Take this time to drink water and spray on mosquito repellant!
