WEEK OF: _____________________
Looking for something to do?

Here are the things that need attention on a weekly basis:

Initials
Check the "Completed Disbursements" folder for disbursement forms. Double check each one in the database to ensure that it has been entered correctly and then recycle it.
Take a walk through all of Free Geek and bus all unused dishes, cups and silverware to the big kitchen. Bus any dirty dishes from the little kitchen to the big kitchen. Use dishwasher in big kitchen.
Make sure we have a good distribution of: soap, toilet paper and paper towels in our 3 bathroom stocking areas. If we are low on something, please fill out a ticket at todo/supplies.
Use a cleaning solution like Simple Green or water/vinegar to clean: countertops, phone handsets, the tops of the computer systems.
Take a look at the office supply area outside the Monkeyhouse. Are materials easy to find? If not, please help keep this area organized.
Look at the general supply area outside the bathroom near Hardware ID. Please recycle or move things that don't need to be there and pick up any trash.
Are the signs in front of the Donor Desk and Volunteer Desk easy to read? Restock brochures, clean the counter tops, remove unnecessary toys/gadgets, make sure that the lobby area is un-cluttered.
Pretend you need to get information from our Community Board. Are the business cards and announcements easy to read? Pull outdated events from the Community Board and organize it as best you can so that all postings are visible.

Initials
Pretend you need to get information from our Community Board. Are the business cards and announcements easy to read? Pull outdated events from the Community Board and organize it as best you can so that all postings are visible.
Are any of the binders or clipboards looking tattered, tired or nasty? Or maybe something could be better labeled? Go for it! Make a newly labeled binder or improve on a tired, sad looking sign.
Print more Equipment Passes and/or Reminder Cards from Dead Trees if needed.
Use a cleaning solution like Simple Green or water/vinegar to clean: countertops, phone handsets, the tops of the computer systems.
Pretend you're donor or a volunteer walking through our reception door. What do you see? Are the signs in front of the Donor Desk and Volunteer Desk easy to read? Restock brochures, clean the counter tops, remove unnecessary toys/gadgets, make sure that the lobby area is un-cluttered.
Go through the lost and found bin and label all the items in it with a date (use marker & masking tape). Any items that have been waiting in the lost and found bin for longer than ~3 weeks should go to the Free Box.
Look at the bag check cards: are they all there? Any missing or horribly tattered? Replace any missing or tattered cards.
