Holiday Volunteer Coordinator - Let's plan now for Christmas 2012! It's our busiest time of the year and we need to start planning right away. Send out information to various groups about gift wrapping.  Schedule groups to come and wrap gifts in December, using online scheduling (Googledocs) and Excel.  You would use your cell phone and BACN’s event email.  Information is sent out in September; signups begin October 1.  Also involves coordinating and signing up “head elves” - gift wrapping supervisors.  Very busy during November and December.  Generally, gift wrapping takes place from 12/8-12/22.  Starting date could be a little earlier.  There are four gift wrapping sessions each day.  (9-11 AM, 12-2 PM, 3-5 PM, 6-8 PM).  During November and December could require up to 8-10 hours per week.
