The new Volunteer Hours Report forms are designed in such a manner as to provide us the name, an accurate loca-tion, and time spent on speci�ic assign-ments. (Please see image.) We ask that the Volunteer Hours Report be �illed out daily so our reports are accurate. Turn-ing in a week’s, month’s, or in some cases a year’s worth of hours complicates our reports. Accurate and daily reporting of hours helps us serve our members the best we are able. With the startup of the volunteer stations in each building (introduced in last month’s newsletter) we are trying to make it easier for you to report your hours daily without having to come to the Marden. We appreciate your cooperation.
Be sure to print all information that is required.
Reporting Your Hours
Free Meals Are AvailableYou may be furnished a meal, at no
charge, if your assignment extends over an established meal period. To qualify, you should work at least 2 hours prior and 2 hours after lunch. To order a meal, volunteers need to sign the meal sheet at Marden Center or call the Volunteer Coordinator no later than 9:00 a.m. the day you need the meal.

✍Upon entering the building you will be volunteering in, you must sign in at the volunteer station. This is so we can account for everyone’s presence in that building should an emergency situation arise.
Be Sure To Sign In
We are still trying to collect everyone’s annual HIPAA paperwork which must be �illed out unless you started within the last 10 months. The forms are available on our website in the volunteer section www.wisvets.com or we have the forms on the volunteer table in the Marden Center. This is very important for com-pliance and needs to be done every year.
Annual HIPAA Paperwork
Please take the time to check the volunteer board and of�ice for updated activities and trips we need assistance with, as well as other important informa-tion. Almost everything is duplicated on the volunteer stations in the buildings. Please check these whenever you are in the buildings. Thank you.
Reminder
We still have lanyards available. If you would like a lanyard to hang your volun-teer badge from, stop in to the volunteer or donations of�ice

Great News!Our Secretary announced on March 12th
that the Veterans Cafe at Marden is chang-ing back to the friendly counter service it once was. We collected suggestions in the last weeks to see what our members, families, staff, volunteers, and VSO Groups would like to see. While we won’t be able to accommodate every suggestion, we are looking at incorporating some great ideas! We are looking forward to this project and will keep you posted on the progress.

� ank YouVolunteer Appreciation Week
Center some time during this week and enjoy the free coffee and treats we will have set up for
you. If you are volunteering in a building, stop by your activity staff; they will have a little something
special for you as well! We want to extend a sincere
thank you to each volunteer. You help make the Home, and our members’ lives, so much brighter! You are truly appreciated!
There is no “I” in Teambut we sure are glad there is
“U” in our volunteers!
Be sure to sign in at the new volunteer station each and every time you come into a building. Each building has a volunteer location where you will �ind important information, volunteer hours sheets, a drop box, member visit and sign-in logs. We need to have you sign in when you enter and when you leave a hall, so in case of an emergency situa-tions we can account for everyone in the building.
Volunteer Sign-in Stations
Flu and Masking ReminderWe are still masking for Flu season! If you have not provided us with information
stating you have received your �lu shot and do not have a yellow sticker on your Volun-teer badge, you will need to wear a mask while volunteering on campus until this provi-sion is lifted (usually in March or April). Masks can be found in each nursing building and at the Marden Center. At King, we mirror the same masking requirements as the local hospital.
If you would like to provide us with information of where, and when, you received your �lu shot, please bring in proof. This information will then be placed in your volun-teer �ile. At that time you will received a yellow sticker to be placed on your name badge.

Already a Registered Volunteer?
You have the ability to secure your coat, purse or other items while you are here volunteering. You do need to bring your own lock, and we ask that all items and lock are removed when you leave. The lockers are for daily use only while you are here volunteering. They are located in the hallway across from the museum in the Marden Center.
KX KarriageThe new KX Karriage is up and ready for volunteers.
We want to run the karriage one day per building, two �loors in the morning and two �loors in the after-noon. The karriage is setup to offer overstock items to members who cannot make it to the KX. The karriage will be taken to the common area on each �loor and volunteers will walk the halls knocking on doors invit-ing members to come and shop.
