For insurance purposes, all drivers must get a copy of
their driving record from the Department of Motor Vehicles and submit
it to IHN prior to driving the van. The cost is less than $3.00. Give
your record to Monte or the IHN office. You may also use your personal
vehicle if only a few are going.
Arrive at the Church at approximately 7:00 PM to pick
up the van. Warm the van prior to leaving if it is cold outside. Record
the trip start mileage in the log book. Meet guests and ask if they
are wanting to go to the showers and that you are their driver. Make
sure dinner and clean up is complete before going to the showers. The
showers are located at the YMCA 1 mile west of 20th and Kipling. Make
sure that all infants are in child seats and everyone has seatbelts
fastened. Stay at the YMCA and wait for the families to finish then
bring them back to the Church. Make sure you log your trip miles in
the log book. You should be done by about 8:30PM.

GUIDELINES FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS:
• Enjoy yourself; we are entertaining guests in our Church home.
• Please wear a name tag to make it easier for the guests to identify
you.
• Strictly avoid labeling the guests with terms such as “homeless”
or any other grouping that could be hurtful. Focus on conversations
that pertain to current events, not personal history or current position.
• Be aware of and avoid potential hurtful reminders to the guests
of the things that they do not have.
• The schedule is not intended to be rigid – be flexible
and sensitive to special needs and opportunities.
• If physical violence is threatened, call 911, immediately, without
hesitation.
• If you observe child abuse, you must call 911.
