Your task would be to simply smile, greet the meeting attendees and direct them to one of the two existing places to purchase their breakfast.
While it is a simple task it is a very important one, since your help makes it possible for our meeting to start earlier, which results in more time to connect at the end of the meeting. So our volunteers help us to do more of what we get together for, which is network and connect!
Thank you in advance for considering to step up to the plate and help us out.
And big "Thank You!" to our past, current and future volunteers - your support is greatly appreciated!
Please connect with Neil (compass8000@gmail.com or 604-569-1940) or myself (Monika@ClearDirections.ca or 604.737.0870) if you can help.
We're looking forward to hearing from you!

If you answered “Yes” to either question and attend the HOBN Yaletown meetings – we would love to hear from you!
With our new welcome procedure in place, HOBN Yaletown is looking for enthusiastic and reliable volunteers to help us out. We are looking for two people, one greeter and one cashier, for every Thursday morning come March 8th.
As we are in the process of putting together a volunteer roster, please let us know if you will be available to help us out and on which dates. This week Bonnie and Marilyn will be our greeter and cashier again. Thank you, Bonnie! Thank you, Marilyn!
Take a look at what Marilyn and Bonnie are doing. If you think you’d like to fill either of these positions and make yourself known as a person with an outstanding service attitude, let Neil or myself know. Thank you!

Please note that we have a new welcome procedure in place:
We still have the two normal breakfast options, the $7.50 or the $9.50 deal, plus tax. The $7.50 keeps to be the minimum purchase in support of our venue hosts. The only thing that changes is that there will be two places for us to pay for our breakfast depending on what we'd like to have:
For the $7.50 option, with regular coffee or your choice of teas, paid by cash only:
If you want the $7.50 deal ($8.50 incl. HST) with a regular coffee or your choice of tea, please go directly upstairs where Bonnie, our first volunteer cashier, will take your cash and will hand you a cup for your beverage. Coffee, a selection of teas and breakfast items will be set up in the meeting area. Receipts will also be available for you when you check in with Bonnie. Once you’ve paid for your breakfast you may go in and grab your seat and breakfast.
For everything else, e.g. the $7.50 breakfast with specialty coffees/teas, the $9.50 deal, or if you wish to pay with your credit card:
Please go directly to the counter downstairs where you will be ordering and receiving your breakfast. Once you have your breakfast in your hands, please come upstairs to our meeting area and join the crowd.
With this new process we hope for a smoother and faster process of purchasing breakfast and for the meeting to start in a timely fashion, which translates in to more time for networking afterwards!!!
Doors to the Buzz open at 7:00am, the meeting will start at 7:15am.
Please note: It will no longer be possible for attendees to first go upstairs, grab a seat and then go back down to purchase breakfast. Buying breakfast will be the first thing we all do, and then we will be granted access to the meeting space.
Here's to another fun and effective HOBN meeting.
Stay safe, dry and warm today!

I'm sure this new process will work out great once we're all used to it. Please bare with us as we iron out any potential small glitches that might pop up - and pleeeease do remember to educate your guests how HOBN Yaletown works. Thank you!
Thanks so much to Marilyn and Bonnie, our first two volunteers as greeter and cashier. Are you interested in helping us out as a volunteer once in a while? Let Neil or myself know and we'll gladly sign you up. It's a great way for you to stand out of the crowd and distinguish yourself as a leader in our HOBN community.
