[Katrina-IT-Volunteers] missing a shift

[Gemar, Edward]

You might try putting yourself on the schedule and then bringing a
printed copy to the volunteer office.  This worked for me on Sunday.  I
hadn't signed up to take a shift, but I ended up having some time to
come down and help out.  Initially, at the volunteer office they
wouldn't give me wrist band, so I just went to Kinko's down the block
and added myself to the shift schedule and printed it out.  Then I went
back to the volunteer office and showed them the printed schedule and
they gave me a wrist band.  This worked for me, but your mileage may
vary.

On Monday, those who do the volunteer check-in would not have given 
me a wristband had I not been signed up for my shift before the day 
started, when Monday's schedule was faxed to them.

(There were several gentlemen with an AA leadership team that were 
refused entry because their team leader had not faxed the list of 
people who would be reporting for duty on Monday, even though they 
had all been there Sunday, one still wearing Sunday's wristband.)

In other words, it seems to me there is no way to sign up for a shift 
once the day's schedule has been delivered to those doing the 
volunteer check-in, at least for those of us using the wristband 
system to get into the Center.
