​TFC Greeters: Arriving on Campus/Bathroom and Inventory
​When we serve, we park across the street, we leave parking near the building for guests and other partners.
​When walking into the building, complete a spot check for items that can be easily picked up .
​Gauge the windows, carpet, and odor upon entrance and make the maintenance department or your lead aware of any major needs/concerns. Maintenance is responsible for cleaning these areas.
​Check the bathrooms (Men/Women): Inventory is stocked, courtesy flushes, napkins filled, counters wiped. Put a basket of communion under the tables at the front and in VIP. It will be placed out before leaving your post (9:10 for 1st service), 2nd and 3rd Service VIP and front Entry will replinsh.
​Spray air freshener in the bathroom (in the corners so that it is not on the floors).
​If it's raining, move the umbrella stand near the door.
​Repeat these items for the VIP area as well! *Unlock the door using the key on top of the frame (@ 8:20, 9:50 and 11:50)
