I recommend in the parking procedures attachment (attached again in case
anyone didn't get it) that you take $10 in quarters and feed the meter to
cover the period until approximately 7:35 or 7:40.  Usually they are back to
their cars by 7:25 or 7:30, so the extra 5-10 minutes is just insurance. 

The two times I have done it, most cars were parked on 29th St, which is 20
min/quarter, so usually if you get there around 6:50, should require no more
than 2 quarters (or 3 if you want to be sure).  One or two of the girls end
up parking on 30th Street, which only gives 7.5min/quarter, so to get to
7:35 or so, you need $1.50 per car.  So in practice, it's about $5-8 total
in quarters.

What time do the girls leave for school from TBC (ie how much time should be
paid for) and approx how many quarters are usually needed?

Thanks Steve. By the way, the SignUp Genius program is brilliant. It
notifies the organizer (in this case, me) when people sign up, delete or
swap, so no need to email me directly with schedule info--I get it
automatically and can see it online, as can anyone who goes to the website.
It also reminds the volunteers two days in advance of your scheduled
volunteer date. 

I encourage everyone to use it for volunteer signups as it dramatically cuts
down on the need for back and forth emails. 

Thanks for signing up!

Subject: parking update

Hi Crew Families, 

I really appreciate the efforts of the meter feeders. You all have been
terrific. A quick report on our program and a request.

Brooke and the girls have all been dutifully parking on the designated
streets (29th and 30th), and the program is operating very smoothly. Since
the first week when we were working out a few details, I have not heard a
report of any tickets being issued (other than spring break when there were
no meter feeders assigned). 

With the number of practices cancelled, we've had a bit of a reprieve from
meter feeding, but I expect we will pick up again shortly. We still have
about 10 days for which we have no volunteers at this point. I would welcome
the participation of anyone who has not volunteered to date. It really is
quite easy (takes less than 10 minutes once you are down in G-town). Also,
as we have had a number of days cancelled, if anyone whose day was cancelled
can swap into one of the open days, that would certainly get us close to
being fully covered.

To sign up, please go to http://signupgenius.com/go/parking12 to choose the
days that work for you. 

Finally, based on the collective experience of our volunteers, I have put
together a set of recommended procedures to handle the task most
efficiently. I suggest you print the page and take it with you. And don't
forget to let me know how it goes and if you have any questions. 

Thanks again, 

Gus Bessalel

P.S.: Reminder, this is not a mandatory program and no parent who is unable
or unwilling to volunteer should be concerned about ignoring this request.
