their quarter. 2. Check the kitchen at the beginning of each month in the quarter

to make sure that the kitchen has adequate supplies. There is a list affixed to the cabinet containing paper goods noting the supplies that are commonly used. This typically includes dish soap, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, plastic bags, paper plates of two sizes, paper napkins, plastic and Styrofoam cups.

3. If supplies are needed, please purchase them and submit receipts to the Olsburg Lutheran Church treasurer.

5. Periodically check the kitchen for tidiness and wipe off counters and stoves when needed as well as returning dishes in the dish drainer to the cabinets.
