New Way to Log Your Hours and Sign Up for Events! (old way going away July 1st)
(Expertos y expertas en reciclaje, por favor continúen reportando sus horas a Sergio.)
If you are just tuning in now that it’s “volunteer season,” you may not know that we are switching to a new software for logging your hours and signing up for events.
Over 200 of you have already signed in and have started using it (up from 160 last month). Thank you!
We still have 218 of you who have volunteered within the last 3 years who have not logged in yet (yes, I know who you are!).
Please check your spam for the welcome email from me with your temporary username and password, along with instructions to the guides to get you started. It was sent from masterrecycler@oregonmetro.gov.
Now is a great time to log in and check it out, given we have lots of opportunities this month!
Having any issues logging in? Email Stacy at masterrecycler@oregonmetro.gov.
Congratulations Class 97!
Clackamas County’s Class 97 graduated last month with 26 participants. They were a lively group that formed a close bond and have so many great ideas for how to complete their volunteer hours! I can’t wait to see what you all do. Thank you again for the sweet card, gift, and sticking with the class after the barf bag incident!
¡Felicidades a la Clase 97!
La Clase 97 del Condado de Clackamas se graduó el mes pasado con 26 participantes. Fue un grupo muy animado que forjó un estrecho vínculo y que tiene muchísimas ideas fantásticas sobre cómo completar sus horas de voluntariado. ¡Estoy deseando ver todo lo que logran! Gracias de nuevo por la linda tarjeta, por el regalo y por haber seguido con el curso después del incidente de la bolsa para el vómito.
