Subject: [Volunteers_fosm] Call for December FOSM Individual Volunteer Hours!
Message-ID: <CAGYpFvWauqvb=6gF6CQrMBAOptr97JXg13Y_5iU=cSZzMkbpvg@mail.gmail.com>

All FOSM Volunteers:



This is the monthly call for your* December individual* volunteer hours.

Our fiscal year FY2026 started October first(to match that of the USFS).

If you have individual volunteer hours in October or November that were not
reported, you can report them now.

*The weekly crew leaders(Bob, Sam, Laura) have already provided their
crew's hours by individual into our FY2026 FOSM hours tracker, so if you
signed an attendance sheet, your hours are already covered.*

Report any and all of your individual time(not covered by a crew sign-in
sheet) 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
Cibola Trail Rangers(CTR).

?         any training hours, such as brushing training, sawyer
certifications or medical classes.

?         any upkeep hours, such as physical inventory, organizing the
Guard Station, acquiring supplies, tool maintenance.

?         any administrative hours, such as the website, archives,
meetings, project reports, Treasurer reports.

?         any Adopt-A-Trail or Adopt-A-Drop hours. (Dan Benton is the
Coordinator)

?         include ONLY that portion of travel time which originates from
the Ranger Station or FOSM Guard Station.(imagine punching a time clock
there) and add it to the time you spent on the project rather than
reporting it as a separate item.

*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 travel time directly from home to the work site.*

?         any tabling event hours.

?         any Sandia Snowshoe Classic hours, since FOSM charges a fee for
the event.

?         any Adopt-A-Highway clean-up hours, as this is an arrangement
with NMDOT.

?         any Sandia Crest Historic Sign hours at the Hwy 14 roundabout, as
this is an arrangement with NMDOT.

?         any wildlife drinker hours outside the National Forest.

*Do not provide hours that were previously reported.*

*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> . Thank you Rav!*

*We sincerely appreciate everything you do as volunteers!*
