Docent Needed: Friday, December 9 from 1-5 pm

Can anyone do a docent shift (or trade a shift) on Friday, December 9 from 1-5 pm? No one is scheduled for this shift.

December 9 is the first day of the Members’ Shopping Weekend, so I am expecting it to be a little busier than normal.

Please reply only if you are available, and I will confirm whether or not you are needed.

Thanks for your time!
