| The Role of the Local Coordinator |
|
If you have volunteered to coordinate Lent Event in your
local community, we thank you! We hope you have fun and derive satisfaction
from your involvement. The workload should not be heavy - all you really need
is your commitment and enthusiasm!
Your main role is to PEP your community
-
Promote Lent Event – before, during and after Lent.
-
Encourage full participation – to make the best use of the
resources available.
-
Process donations – to make sure as much money as possible
makes it to the Lent Event projects.
|
|
You may wish to ask someone to share the role with you,
especially if you are part of a large community. In particular, we have found
that the processing of donations is often handled by another volunteer. This
year we have separated the finance instructions into a separate Finance
Guide. If you are not looking after the collection of the money, please
pass the Finance Guide to the person who is helping you.
|
|
Do not hesitate to telephone or email us if you have any
questions.
