Service Calendar
Below is
the calendar for serving at Grandma's house. Each participating
family is on a six-week rotating schedule throughout the year. If
for any reason you cannot serve on your week, please arrange with
another family to swap weeks for that instance.
Also, please
note that in addition to the service to take care of the lawn or help
clean the house, it is requested that sometime around mid-week, someone
from the family stops by and visits. This will help during those
lonely times and also acts as a security check in case of falls, other
accidents, etc.
During the
summer, please do you best to make sure the lawn is cut during your
week. If you see inclement weather, look for days around the
weekend (e.g. Thurs, Friday, or the following Monday) to see if one of
those days will be better. If the lawn is left for two weeks, it
will be very difficult for the following family to cut.
During the fall
and winter months, please do not let Grandma talk you out of
coming. There is a tremendous amount of cleaning and other work
that can be done in the house. If Grandma doesn't have things to
do, look around and evaluate the home as if it were your own and
identify areas to address.
Thank you for
your service. We all know the joy we receive from helping.
Keep those thoughts close when it may feel difficult to carve time out
of your week.
