Closing Note — Register Either Way
Book either way. Then register. Every volunteer completes the volunteer registration, whichever way the room was booked. Registration puts the volunteer name on the desk list. The desk holds that name for the count. The desk meets every arrival. No volunteer stands outside the count.
