What are the Responsibilities of the Hosting Communities?
©It is the responsibility of the hosting Community to help ensure that the Weekend is full. To this end the Community should conduct major inviting activities 2 months in advance of the Weekend.
©Create 30 felt banners in advance of the Weekend. You can purchase pre-cut banner sized felt pieces and sew a simple ½ inch sleeve at the top for the dowel to slide into. The decoration on each banner can vary, but the words should always be “ENJOY”. Use yarn to create a hanger from one end of the dowel to the other. Please do NOT use any seasonal themes or put dates on them.
©Hosting Communities are responsible to provide a prayer couple for the priest giving the weekend as well as any couple from outside the Joliet Area.
©Contact the supply couple and arrange a time to pick-up the supplies from their home. You will need a mini-van to contain all of the supplies. Supplies should generally be picked up on the Friday of the Weekend between 4 and 5pm but can be picked up the Thursday before. Contact the Sieberts to arrange a pickup time.
©Arrange with your Community to meet at the Weekend Facility by 5:30pm. Helpers should be discouraged from bringing their children. You are responsible for setting up the conference room and checking in the couples at a registration table. (room assignments can be obtained from the front desk) Instructions for completing these tasks can be found in the box marked "Registration"
©Couples will begin to arrive between 6:30 an 7:30. Community couples should warmly greet each couple, help to check them in at the registration table and carry their luggage up to their rooms.
©Be at the Weekend facility by 4:00pm on Sunday to tear down the conference room. All supplies remaining should be returned to their container and returned to the supply couple.
