Save A Tree Day Event Checklist

Procedural:

The day before the event it is advisable to send an email to the GLT list to confirm that the event is a go. During colder months the weather can change at the last minute and result in cancellation.

To-Do and What To Bring:

Many items needed for a SAT Day are personal property of several people so it is the EC's responsibility to make sure these items are collected and brought to the event. This usually requires collecting some items before the event if the owners will not be coming to the event with those items.

EC's can copy/paste the following list into a Word or other document and customize for their particular event. Items with an asterisk should be kept in the SAT Day kit bag.


Use this as a checklist and to identify who has agreed to bring what (add names after the items). Not all items will be needed for all events:
