You'll find the very easy instructions for inserting info into this wiki at the bottom of this message.

Welcome to our collaborative "Wiki" website for planning the Montague Farm Cafe. We are in the process of adjusting our Cafe oversight and volunteer coordination.

*** WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO OUR NEW LOCAL BUSINESS SPONSOR, THE SOLAR STORE. IT JOINS OUR OTHER WONDERFUL BUSINESS SPONSOR, LIGHTLIFE IN PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE CAFE. PLEASE SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION BY SUPPORTING THESE THREE FINE FRANKLIN COUNTY BUSINESSES. ***


If you want to volunteer for the Feb. 19th Cafe, please list your name in the appropriate area(s) below, and please include your email or best way to contact you.

Be the point person for the meal! Extra Karmic Points. (This person looks at the list of volunteers on the wiki the week prior and nudges more people to sign up, as needed. A few days before the Café, this person sends out an email reminder to everyone on the list. This person also has this list during the meal and helps people show up for their allotted tasks and organizes volunteers on the spot as needed. This is the person people report to–all volunteers should cc the point person on relevant communications.)

Make sure AA meeting is posted. Take all signs down at the end of the day. Facilitate the blessing circle introductions of all health and wellness providers.)

"Wiki" instructions!

Now for the instructions about how you can sign up for one of these tasks in the above list. It's very easy.

After you decide how you would like to be involved in the upcoming meal, click "Easy Edit" (you'll see it if you scroll up to the top of the page -it's right above the words ZP MEALS and inside an orange circle.)

Scroll back down to the SIGNING UP area and type in your name and other needed info (i.e. kind of food you are preparing if that is relevant.)

Click "Save" (once you're in edit mode you will see it up at the top in an orange tool bar.)

You will be asked if you want to send an end note. Say "Skip End Note."

You are all set. It's that simple!

Your name and other info will now be included on the Wiki for everyone to see, so we can develop this collective plan for the upcoming meal. Here's to "many hands" and a beautiful meal.
