1. Prasadam coordination: Please review your names and availability for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. For the month of June, most weekends do not have any special events, however, we do get crowd. Should we open this to more volunteers to bring half tray of prasadam?
2. Priest Help: This would be shrine help to be filled by other volunteers- Diwakar, Santosh etc..
3. Chanting Lead: Potential thoughts for chanting when the screen is drawn. Having a lead helps drive that momentun.
4. General volunteering: We do need a set of volunteers or backup that we can reach put to esp on non event days just incase one of us cannot make it given the priest is also not there
