[Ansteorra] Gulf Wars volunteers needed

[Pamela D. Kendrick]

Unto all do I, Gisele de Bier, send greetings and salutations.

This email is being sent out to all these wonderful individuals who
might wish to volunteer for one or more shifts at the Exchequer's Office
during GW 23.

For these who don't know me, I am Gisele de Bier, assistant to the
Exchequer. I will be coordinating the schedule for this Gulf War. As I
cannot possibly remember everyone's preference about his or his or her
email account being publicly available, I will be using the BCC option
for all future communications among volunteers.

The current schedule for this year's Gulf War is still mostly blank.
Many shifts are still available, so please let me know which shifts you
prefer as I know several of you have a specific preference as to when
you would like to work.

Each shift should have 1 exchequer and at least 1 cashier. This email is
to flesh out the exchequers and cashiers.  I will be sending out a
separate email to coordinate the shift lead.  If you are interested in a
lead position please ask.

The exchequers duties are to prepare the cash drawer in the cash
register for an upcoming shift and to balance the cash drawer from a
shift that just ended.  The exchequer would arrive at the exchequers
trailer 15 minutes before his or her shift begins, count out the money,
fill out some forms and ride to troll with the cashier to deliver the
shift money for the cash register and return to the exchequers trailer
with the previous shifts cash drawer, count the money and help prepare
the bank deposit.

The cashier's duties are to run the cash registers.  The cashier will
arrive at the exchequers trailer 15 minutes before their shift begins
and fill out forms then ride to troll with the exchequer.  Once the cash
drawer is set up for your shift you stay and run the cash register until
your shift is over. You will ride back to the exchequers trailer at the
end of your shift and sign your paperwork.

This is NOT a troll position, if you are interested in that area please
contact  troll at gulfwars.org.

The basic shift outline is:

Saturday March 9: 8:00 ~ 12:00 ~ 6:00

Sunday March 10 ~ Friday: 6:00 ~ 10:00 ~ 2:00 ~ 6:00 ~ 11:59

Saturday March 15: 6:00 ~ 12:00 (close)

This is the same format as last year's schedule, 4 hour shifts during
the day and 6 hour shifts at night.  Please let me know which shifts you
are willing to work and I will try to ensure that everyone gets their
choice of shifts.  Please be aware, however, that there will be times
when I do not need 5 cashiers and there may be times when I need to send
out additional requests for help to fill in gaps that may exists.  If
you have any constraints or requests, please let me know what they are.

This information will not be shared outside of the War Exchequer and
Shift Leads.

As you may know from last year the work included is to count in the new
cash register; count out former cash register, verify the cash count
against the receipts; and to count the various kingdom attendances.  The
exchequer troll shift may be 1 to 4 hours; shifts earlier in the week
tend to be longer than those at the end of the week.

Additionally, if you know of an exchequer in your kingdom that will be
attending Gulf War, please, encourage them to take a shift.  This is how
we train and raise the next group.

As you consider shifts to work, please remember to have fun at War!
Check out the Gulf Wars Website www.gulfwars.org to see what activities
you want to attend!

Please let me know if you have any questions. You can contact me at
pamo1960 at gmail.com or the exchequer at exchequer at gulfwars.org   You may
also reach me by phone 281-593-9559, bur please no calls after 8 PM CST.

Yours in Service,

Ly Gisele de Bier
