Hi Chela!I made the same mistakes these folks are making in the beginning, before I even knew there was a volunteer manual. So glad to know that new volunteers are reading it! It helped me a lot, and kept my books from sitting on the step 1 page. I'm sure that some more experienced volunteers thought, and rightly so, "This woman can't even fill out a form properly, what in the world kind of a mess are her books in?" But with some kind advice from a couple of people, and a thorough reading of the manual, I've got it down now!
