[Volunteers_fosm] Call for FOSM Individual Volunteer Hours! 8/1-9/15

[Michael Madden]

All FOSM Volunteers:

As you know, we called for your individual volunteer hours on July 31 for
the catch-up period from Oct 1, 2023 thru July 31, 2024.
A BIG THANKS to those of you who responded back then!
*Now we're making the second and last call for this USFS fiscal year, the
period from Aug 1 thru today Sept 15.*
The reason we're stopping short of the end of September is due to the prep
time needed to record and process your hours.
A summary level report will appear in Sam Beard's Annual Newsletter at the
end of this month, as well as on charts at our Oct 1 Annual Meeting.

If we haven't heard from you yet, please submit your individual volunteer
hours since the start of the USFS fiscal year... Oct 1, 2023 thru Sept 15,
2024.
*The weekly crew leaders(Bob, Sam, Laura) have already provided their
crew's hours by individual, so if you signed an attendance sheet, your
hours are already covered.*
Basically, report any and all individual time spent in a FOSM activity
which pertains to the District.
The following are some guidelines, and not meant to be a comprehensive list:

*Do report:*

   - any hours serving the District while acting on your own or with
   companions. This may also include any work done following a weekly crew.
   - any hikes with findings or work done which was reported to CTR
   ('h-e-l-l-o' to you all named in Sally Lowder's Trail Tree Report!).
   - any training hours, such as sawyer certifications or medical classes.
   - any upkeep hours, such as physical inventory, organizing the Guard
   Station, purchasing supplies, tool maintenance.
   - any administrative hours, such as the website, archives, meetings,
   project reports, Treasurer reports.
   - any hours to plan or work the Snowshoe Classic.
   - any Adopt-A-Trail or Adopt-A-Drop hours. (Dan Benton is the
   Coordinator)
   - *and be sure to include travel time both ways.*



*Do not report:*

   - *any hours where you were a part of a weekly crew and entered your
   name on a sign-in sheet, as those hours are tracked separately.*
   - any Adopt-A-Highway clean-up hours, as this is an arrangement with
   NMDOT.
   - any Sandia Crest Historic Sign hours at the new roundabout, as this is
   an arrangement with NMDOT.
   - any wildlife drinker hours for Bernalillo County.


*For this request, we just need a list of dates and your hours, no location
or task description.*
*Send your hours to Rav Nicholson at skiglutton at peoplepc.com
<skiglutton at peoplepc.com> by this Wednesday Sept 18.*

We sincerely appreciate everything that you do!
