VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

(CLICK HERE TO VOLUNTEER)

 

Cosmo Brothers, it’s time to recruit volunteers to help audit, sort tickets, and then deliver thousands of plants that will be sold once again for this most awesome fundraiser!  

 

As many of you know, there is a significant amount of coordination that goes into pulling off sale, sort, and delivery of this many plants and it cannot be done without your help!  

Friendly reminder, every member is required to sell a minimum of $140.00 and we are no longer doing residential deliveries!  Saturdays are for  pick-up only!  Those members who don't meet the minimum will receive a donation assessment charge during the January 2022 member billing cycle.  

 

HELP IS NEEDED FOR THE FOLLOWING:

▪ 8 Auditors are needed for Envelope Audit on Thursday December 1st

▪ 20 helpers needed for Sort Night on Thursday December 8th

▪ UNLIMITED DRIVERS (50 minimum!) will be needed for Commercial Deliveries on Friday December 9th  

▪ NO SATURDAY DELIVERIES - PICK UP ONLY!

▪ 5 warehouse helpers for each day (8th & 9th) to assist with loading and pick up coordination

 

 

AUDIT AFTERNOON DETAILS:

  • Time & Location – 1:30 P.M., lower level @ Lindstrom Sorenson & Associates, immediately after the Thursday December 1st luncheon.

Are you Skilled with using a letter opener and calculator?  We have a job for you!  All envelopes turned in at this day’s luncheon must be audited and prepped for sorting.  The audit is usually completed by 3:00 P.M.

 

SORT NIGHT DETAILS:

  • Time & Location – 6:00 P.M., PRAIRE STREET BREWHOUSE -  Thursday December 8th.

Delivery Card Bingo!!  A most impressive system is coordinated the night before we begin deliveries and the more volunteers we have the faster and easier the night goes.  It is simple.  You are given a stack of cards, the numbers are called off by our coordinator, and we gather the tickets in the order called to then organize the delivery routes.  Very easy!  Plus, pizza and beer will be provided!
