TIME LINE FOR Assembly of Gift Boxes
 
Prep all we can before the 16th.  Deliver everything to Assembly site.
Arrive morning of 16th 9 a.m.     3-4 volunteers from each Club.   We will be working outside under tents – but it will be cold.
Assembly Lines making boxes – 2-3 hours.
 
Set up Pop Up Tents in Parking Lot  -  Each Club will have a tent.  2-3 volunteers at each tent.
Drive Through  Pick Up begins at 1 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.  – people have scheduled times for their pick up.   We check them off the list
               Put a box in their car – wish them happy holidays, sing, wave and dance – whatever.  And send them on their way.  Some live music would be great – so would some holiday decorations.
 
Deliveries will begin at 3 p.m. – Drivers and instructions are all set.  We just need to give them the boxes and that crew will take it from there. 
 
This is a rough draft at best – but we are starting to get some framework around this project.
