Kidsignments
New Helper Registration
FALL 2014
----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your interest in helping at Kidsignments!
Volunteering at this event is hard work but the benefits of helping are very rewarding!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Helpers get to shop before the seller's preview sale since normally,
all helpers have to work the preview sale (and this is a Marathon day) but 
first time helpers get excused from working the preview sale. 
All helpers however must work one of the three available cleanup shifts.
Note that these shifts can be very, very long depending on how much inventory is left : )

Besides being able to shop the special helper's preview sale,
there are many other great benefits offered to our wonderful volunteers.

All helpers have the opportunity to shop a 1/2 price preview event.

Helpers may also purchase items during their cleanup shift
with a further reduction of the consignment fee (price less 30%).

YES - All helpers can sell! 
YES - my husband is a chef and does prepare complimentary food for us during the sale shifts!
YES - I provide at my expense -snacks and drinks for helpers!
YES - we have the annual "After Easter" potluck picnic and egghunt for helper's family!
YES - it is a lot of work, but worth it!
NO - sorry, no children are permitted during volunteer shifts.
Long time helpers really look forward to seeing the other helpers twice a year. 
Some great friendships have been made at this event!

If you want to sell and you have not sent in a request already, please submit a request by going to
the registration link on our www.kidsignments.com website.
If you are confirmed as a helper, you will not need an appointment (but you must be registered)
if you drop off during the Helpers' Special Drop Off times. 

T-Shirts

Do you need a Kidsignments T-shirt?

If you would need a shirt: What size T-shirt do you need? 

                                           How many T-shirts do you need? 

The first shirt is paid for by me, additional shirts cost about $4.50
(I only pass on my actual charge so whatever that is will be the charge)

 

Helper Meeting

All new helpers will need to attend a mandatory helper meeting. It is very important for all helpers to hear the same information at the same time.
I hold the meeting on the same night as helper drop offs to make this more convenient for them.  Returning helpers only need to attend one meeting a year.

The helper meeting is on: 
        Thursday, Aug. 7   6pm - 8pm

Helper Drop Offs:
       Thursday, Aug. 7   8pm - 10pm 

(If you are bringing many items, please come early and not close to 10pm)

Number of Shifts Remaining from Last Sale* *New helper - leave this set to 0

Sale Shifts Desired (Check all the ones you would like from the drop down listed)
All helpers are required to help at ONE cleanup shift.  New helpers are asked to sign up for the last cleanup time.

Please select more than the number of shifts that you are requesting to enable us more flexibility in meeting your requests.
Please select at least 3 shifts total.

CLEANUP SHIFTS - Please select 1 of the cleanup shifts below.
Working one of these 4  is required.  Note that these shifts end when all the work for that phase of sorting is complete.
If you leave before the end, it is likely that you will not be asked back to help again since this places your share of the
work on everyone else. Since cleanup and preview (preview is required for returning helpers only)
are essential for everyone to help to make sure it is fair for all, if you do not help at one of these shifts,
then you need to select two shifts (after sale shifts do not count) to substitute for each of these
(If you are a returning helper and do not do both cleanup and preview, this would mean you would need to select 4 shifts to substitute, but they count as 2).
Anyone who cannot work cleanup will not be able to have their schedules confirmed until a few days before the sale. This is
because this shift is critical and we will be filling shifts with those who are able to help out at cleanup first.

**** NEW HELPERS are requested to help during the final sorting shift - we need your energy! **** 

** I listed the worse case end times for each shift so you are aware that if the shifts are 'moving slow' due to no shows,
or other issues, this would be the longest we would expect for that shift to last.  I am always optimistic that each would
go much less than that time, but want to make sure everyone expects the longest case and can celebrate when we
finish in less time! *****

I am interested in helping additional shifts if needed.

Enter any additional  comments in the space provided below
but please, please, please
do not hit your carriage return/enter key
or this will come across really strange on my side. When you get
to the end of the line just keep typing, don't hit return.


You didn't hit return when you typed, right?? : )

Do you know any Kidsignments helpers?        

If yes, who?                                                    

Do you have any consignment sale experience

What did you do at this sale if you answered yes above? 
(Please enter any prior experience in the space provided below
or other information you would like us to know like prior
retail experience, long time shopper here, accounting or
cashier experience but  please, please, please
do not hit your carriage return/enter key

We will contact you as soon as we know that we have an opening for the times you are available indicated above.
We often do not know this until right before the event.  We will email or call you if an opening becomes available.   
If we do not have an opening, we will let you know also.  Please note that depending on when your request comes to us,
it may take several days to hear back from us, especially during initial seller reservation week.  

Once your confirmation information is provided, we (and your fellow helpers) count on you to fulfill your commitment.
A "no show" creates a hardship on everyone participating in this event and we really count on you to keep your schedule.
Please make sure to have a backup plan in case something happens such as daycare arrangements, someone to fill in
if you are sick (they must be adults and not your children please unless your children are adults : ) or other situations
that could occur.  If your spouse shows up to help in your place (yes, many do!) please make sure they let us know.  

We greatly appreciate you interest in helping at Kidsignments! Thank you so much for filling out all the information so
if you are selected, you do not have to return to complete this information for this event!  

VERY IMPORTANT! If you do not see a 'Thank You' page after you hit the 'Send Jeri Lynn my info' PLEASE
send an email to kidsignments@mindspring.com and include a copy of the above information!  Some folks have reported issues
with some browsers and we want to make sure we receive your information :)  Thank you!
