2. Arrive at Sam Wise Park and proceed to the North End, where the golf carts will be parked, 10 minutes before your shift begins
 
3. Make sure there is some green folding money in your tip jar, it helps people visualize their purpose

5. If people ask, you are assisting the East Polk Rotary Club raise funds for Caring Hands!
 
6. Be really nice, helpful, smiling etc
 
7. At the end of your shift return to the North End of the Sam Wise Complex and pass your cart to the next person. 
 
8. If the tip jar is getting overly full, i.e. more than half, find the Rotarian on your shift and have him or her collect and store excess for the clubs treasurer
 
9. Thank you!, Thank you!, Thank You!
