Almost as bad as not enough volunteers, are too many. I am doing my best
to estimate. We will be collecting and alphabetizing forms, laminating, handing
our schedules, selling organizers, checking out textbooks and assigning lockers.

good. Ten is definitely too few. If you are free Wednesday morning,
Thursday morning or afternoon and Friday makeup day, AND/Or Monday, August

This is not a regular makeup day. That takes place on Friday, August
