Looking for a parent volunteer who is computer savvy and set up to be online frequently to take over both this website and the facebook account next year.  There are frequent posts that need to be included to keep everyone up to date on all of the cadet activities.  The website and facebook account are especially important because nearly all of the parents no longer attend the parent’s committee meetings so this site and the emails from staff are the only ways that they really know what is going on.

Duties include:

• Updating calendar with times, dates, activities, meeting places and such as needed (at least once a week)
• Making sure that the calendar stays up to date with frequent changes
• Posting about all the fundraisers going on throughout the year
• Updating facebook with cadet activity reminders, donor thank-yous, etc.
• Keeping the donor page up to date with links to all donor pages as recognition
• Posting about summer camps, having links to the various forms for volunteers, camp applications, etc.
• Staying on top of any Cadet League contests and posting about how to enter and any applicable deadlines
• Going with the flow because dates and details frequently change
• Probably should attend most, if not all, parent committee meetings to stay on top of what is going on or at least talk to someone who’s in the loop

Volunteer must:

• Exist (LOL)
• Have a sense of humor:)
• Pay attention to detail because this is where many cadets/parents/volunteers get their information from.  If the info is posted wrong then the cadets won’t have the correct information!
• Have a basic knowledge of facebook, decent writing abilities, and basic computer knowledge — I will train anyone willing on basic WordPress functionality, set them up on facebook and on the website!
• Be committed to doing it for all of next year — DO NOT volunteer for this if it’s something you’re only going to do for a few weeks and then give up on — once you’re in, you’re in:)
• Be willing to find and train a replacement

I do not think my son will be part of the cadet program next year (although he might change his mind — kids are great at keeping us on our toes) so I will not be updating these sites next year.  I’d like to find someone willing to learn the ropes in the next few months.  I promise it’s not rocket science but it is a bit of work and must be kept up to date.  This is not something that a cadet should be doing — definitely needs an adult parent volunteer to fulfill this role.  Drop me a line at pjkmitchell@hotmail.com if you’ve got any questions or are interested.
