I'm going to have a panic attack

[montereybride]

I just had an adult volunteer back out of an event tomorrow. Which means I can't take the 8 kids who were supposed to go to work at the event. Which means the event will not have my group to do the one thing that only my group was going to do. Which also means my group can kiss the $1000 donation good-bye.

MOTHERFUCKINGHELL!

CRAP!


Can you rope your dh in? Any random friends?

I live way too far to help out, and would have a tag along kid who is a little less helpful than she thinks she is.

If I lived closer I would totally help you

I hate that's there so much distance between us

[dancingpanda]

I lurk mostly, but are you in Monterey, Ca? I just moved there. Depending on when and where I could probably help.

[montereybride]

I seriously love all of you!

The volunteer would have to already have a background check. H had one but it 'expired' at the end of 2012. His prints are still ok but technically he needs a new ID.

I don't even want to ask him at this point. It's from 7-4 and we'd have to bring the puppy and he's supposed to take her to get shots tomorrow.

What's worse, is I've reached out to a few board members by phone and text, and sent out a board-wide email almost an hour ago and it's like crickets.

CRAP.

And probably harder to get on a holiday weekend.

Do teachers in CA have the ID verifying background check? Do you know any teacher friends? Or any coaches?

Just thoughts.

You're so sweet, T.

Unfortunately the prints (we use LiveScan) aren't transferable between agencies.


H just said he could help but even that needs to be cleared by the board for the reasons stated above. I think I'm going to send out that email as a Reply All and see what they say, if anything.

good luck

That really sucks that no one is offering to help yet. Hopefully, someone will offer soon.

I wish I could help out. I always feel bad when kids get screwed.

[tdk2]

UGH.

Well, hopefully the board will respond to that one if they think it's handled and covered.

doesn't sound like any of them are jumping at it.

[WOT?*]

Can your DH step up and help and deal with the repercussions after the fact?

[Deleted]

Oh no! I am on the executive board of a small organization and I totally feel your pain. Are there any senior volunteer organizations in your area who could help? Have you guys ever applied to use the volunteers from Kohls dept store? (You also get a donation from the store)

[snickers]

Oh man, I hope you were able to figure something out.

[ginger]

Ugh. I hate people.

It sucks when you're the one that cares the most. Sounds like it's time for Mimosas and Brunch instead!

[montereybride]

Blargghhh!

Ok, H is with me and a friend is coming over to my house later to let the puppy out. Two kids cancelled which sucks but we're here.

The guy running the event is happy so that's all that matters.

H isn't overly thrilled to be here.

If my other adult can't be here tomorrow I'm not sure what I'll do. :/ Besides beat him senseless.

Glad you were able to make today work.
