This list may make it seem like there are alot of things to do, but in reality it takes about 15 minutes max to review this list, find the appropriate items and set up.
Please read and check off that the following items listed are in the registration box. Please advise the Trail Director when items are missing. See contact listing in the Club Information booklet.
1. Registration Binder:
Take out the registration binder, read the waiver and note the columns that walkers are required to fill in. Make sure walkers check whether they are walking the 5 or 10 kms. (or other distances as set by the walk) and ask them to write in their departure time. Remind the walkers to check their name off upon return and get their IVV stamps.
2. Route and/or Map Plastic Holders:
Receive copies of the instructions/maps (when included) from the Event Coordinator; place in the clear file folders so they don’t blow off the tables or get wet.
3. Petty Cash box:
Check the box to see that there is:
a) A $50.00 float (which should be mostly toonies and loonies for change);
b) Several pens for signing in / out;
c) Stamp pad and IVV Stamp with appropriate slug;
e) Club name tags – stuck to the inside of the cash box PLEASE wear these at all times and return them to the cash box when you finish your shift.
d) Cash reporting sheet - Following the close of registration set aside $50 float in Loonies/Toonies then count up the remaining $s and fill out the sheet accordingly following the walk. Put it in an envelope and leave it in the cashbox for the Trail Director.
4. Page protectors:
If it is raining or may rain offer walkers a page protector to keep their route/map dry while walking.
5 Hard Clip Board for Stamping IVV Books:
When walkers return use the clip board to place the IVV booklets on before stamping to ensure that the stamp is clear.
6. Black Photo Frame with a copy of the Club Booklet open to the next 2 Walks:
Set this frame on the table so that walkers are reminded of the next two Ottawa Voyageurs Walking Club walks.
7. Volunteer Sign-Up Binder:
Ensure that this binder is on the table in a visible place and remind our membership that volunteers are still needed by checking the binder. Note the yellow post-it notes on events requiring 1 or more volunteers. It is extremely important that when members sign up that an email or phone call is made to the VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR so that the MASTER binder is up-to-date.

If a YRE Box holder requests the YRE envelope stamp (a large grey self-inking stamp) please allow them to stamp their envelopes and make sure the stamp is returned to the box.
Please ensure all items are cleared and placed back in the registration box to give to the Trail Director or pass on to the next event's coordinator/volunteers.
