Weekend Leader FAQs
Weekend Leader FAQs
(Note: The following only applies to weekend leaders for Kairos of Indiana)
1) Who do we use for Food Provisioning?
This ministry receives both discounts and value added services from our relationship with McFarling Foods. In order for us to receive these benefits, it is vital that we work through our sales representative and follow their processes.(More details to follow)
For more information, contact Patrick Cade at McFarling Food 317-441-5030
Many weekend leaders use Gordon Food Service (GFS) for additional items or smaller quantities. Be sure to mention that it is for Kairos of Indiana to take advantage of our tax letter. The address listed is in Greenwood, Indiana.
2) Where do I get the composition books?
After a fair amount of shopping for the booklets that we give to offenders and table family for note taking, we found a source you may want to consider. The marble composition booklet contains blank pages and has a sewn cover with no metal spiral binding. This is advised for inside the walls. If you purchase the Mead brand in local stores, you can pay up to $2.50 per book. By planning ahead and buying bulk quantities, you can get them for $0.88 each. We found an internet source that ships the order from their Indianapolis distribution center.
www.shoplet.com The product number is:
ROA77332. The standard package size is 12/pack, however, they will break the package if you order an odd number. You may find it more convenient to have one advisory council member order a sufficient quantity to cover the next 2 or 3 weekends and distribute them to the next leader. Plan on having 1 per guest plus 1 per table family plus 1 extra per table for the summary notes. So if you have a normal weekend with 7 tables of 6 guests, you would need 6+3+1+10 per table. If you have 7 tables then you need 70 books.
3) Where do I get other Kairos supplies?
At present, the Kairos State organization has made certain items available at no charge to the weekend leader. The items are purchased in larger quantities to save shipping and are stored at Ziebart, 150 S. Madison, Greenwood Indiana. We have created an online store that can communicate your need for these items to the responsible parties. Please order all of your items for the weekend at one time if possible. Click the link to the store to see and order those items. Items such as rice paper, crosses, Blue Manuals, etc are available. Please plan on picking the items up if possible to save time and cost of shipping.
4) What about Trafficing issues?
Trafficing is an issue we need to firmly reinforce to all of our team members. MORE
