Operations Team Monthly To-Do List

Move in and move out logistics
Newsletter

Make sure General Affair director of Week 1 knows what needs to be replaced in the medical supplies for camp (use list from previous year if the Week 2 nurse left a list with missing items)

If there is a Shehaqua Summit planned for October, discuss program and promotion
Discuss logistics for Harvest Festival. Registration? Newsletter? Early bird deadline should be at least two weeks before the start of the program, so there is time to cancel the band without a penalty (if not enough people sign up)
Discuss names of people who volunteered for circles on reflection forms. Contact the people you want to join the FCC.

Have elections to determine who should be circle facilitator, administrator and scribe for one year.
If there is a Summit planned for October, discuss program and promotion
