Meter feeder for Monday (Tomorrow?)

I recommend in the parking procedures attachment (attached again in case anyone didn't get it) that you take $10 in quarters and feed the meter to cover the period until approximately 7:35 or 7:40.  Usually they are back to their cars by 7:25 or 7:30, so the extra 5-10 minutes is just insurance.
 
The two times I have done it, most cars were parked on 29th St, which is 20 min/quarter, so usually if you get there around 6:50, should require no more than 2 quarters (or 3 if you want to be sure).  One or two of the girls end up parking on 30th Street, which only gives 7.5min/quarter, so to get to 7:35 or so, you need $1.50 per car.  So in practice, it's about $5-8 total in quarters.

What time do the girls leave for school from TBC (ie how much time should be paid for) and approx how many quarters are usually needed?

Thanks Steve. By the way, the SignUp Genius program is brilliant. It notifies the organizer (in this case, me) when people sign up, delete or swap, so no need to email me directly with schedule info--I get it automatically and can see it online, as can anyone who goes to the website. It also reminds the volunteers two days in advance of your scheduled volunteer date.
I encourage everyone to use it for volunteer signups as it dramatically cuts down on the need for back and forth emails.
Thanks for signing up!

Hi Crew Families,
I really appreciate the efforts of the meter feeders. You all have been terrific. A quick report on our program and a request.
Brooke and the girls have all been dutifully parking on the designated streets (29th and 30th), and the program is operating very smoothly. Since the first week when we were working out a few details, I have not heard a report of any tickets being issued (other than spring break when there were no meter feeders assigned).
With the number of practices cancelled, we've had a bit of a reprieve from meter feeding, but I expect we will pick up again shortly. We still have about 10 days for which we have no volunteers at this point. I would welcome the participation of anyone who has not volunteered to date. It really is quite easy (takes less than 10 minutes once you are down in G-town). Also, as we have had a number of days cancelled, if anyone whose day was ca ncelled can swap into one of the open days, that would certainly get us close to being fully covered.
To sign up, please go to http://signupgenius.com/go/parking12 to choose the days that work for you.
Finally, based on the collective experience of our volunteers, I have put together a set of recommended procedures to handle the task most efficiently. I suggest you print the page and take it with you. And don't forget to let me know how it goes and if you have any questions.
Thanks again,
Gus Bessalel
P.S.: Reminder, this is not a mandatory program and no parent who is unable or unwilling to volunteer should be concerned about ignoring this request.
