All members will attend at least two of SLD's three meetings per year. Attending all three is encouraged!

Girls will serve 12 hours each year, and Moms will serve nine. Summer hours are credited to the upcoming school year. The SERVICE YEAR begins the Monday following the last SLD Meeting of the year (which is usually the first Sunday in May). Time that officers and committee members spend in their roles is not credited as SLD hours but can be submitted to TCA.

Each member can choose how to earn their hours. Scheduling is done through the Track It Forward App. There will be 4 or more opportunities per month to choose from. Additionally, throughout the Service Year, there will be 4-5 group service events held on Sundays at NW Bible Church, one of which will also be our December meeting. Additionally, we will also have 3 independent projects throughout the Service Year. However, members can only do up to 1/3rd of their hours as independent project work (3 for moms, 4 for girls). The goal is to serve the majority of your hours with others!

All meetings and service opportunities are listed in Track It Forward. They are added as early as possible to allow members to plan ahead throughout the year.

All sign ups will be done through Sign Up Genius. Sign Up Genius links are available on the Calendar page. The President will also send a monthly email round-up of news and service opportunities.

The Secretary will email and updated spreadsheet of everyone’s hours in Nov, Jan and March - but you will also be able to track them in the App. It is each members responsibility to review the hours report and confirm their served hours have been accurately captured by the Secretary.

If a member cannot attend an event, it is important that they delete their sign up on Track if Forward up to 5 days prior to the event. After that, a member needs to find a replacement or they will be required to serve 1 penalty hours.
