Welcome Orientation
Date: March 1, 2010, 1:30 pm - 2:30 pmDescription
Welcome Orientation for new groups and new staff members of previously registered groups.
Seating is limited, please keep your registration to 2 people per organization!
IMPORTANT: The Welcome Orientation was planned to coincide with the regularly scheduled First of the Month Monday Evening Shopping. Shopping will begin at 3:30pm. If you intend to shop after the orientation, please make sure to go online to make your own appointment. Shopping appointments that evening are limited.
**FOR MONDAY MARCH 1: The orientation will take place from 1:30PM-2:30PM and shoppping will be available for orientation attendees only starting at 3PM (regular shopping will begin at 3:30PM). Those attending the orientation who would like to shop at 3PM should email Julia Metro at jmetro@mfta.nyc.gov.
Following the Welcome Orientation and just for those organizations who will not be shopping that evening, a quick tour of the warehouse will be given.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
If you are a new group, an old group updating your account, or have experienced significant staff changes you should attend this meeting.
The Orientation will be about one hour. VISTA Fellow, Julia Metro, will discuss shopping eligibility, direct donations, using the website, recipient responsibilities, and a review of other free services provided by MFTA.
Groups are required to attend a Welcome Orientation within three months of their acceptance to MFTA. Any representative may come from the organization. We expect that they will then share the ins and outs of MFTA with their colleagues.
