Questions
Does this repeat on the first Saturday each month?
Yes. The starter schedule uses the next first Saturday and repeats monthly for six dates. It follows the weekday's position in the month rather than a fixed day number.
Must volunteers commit to all six months?
No. Each date has separate spots. Volunteers choose the dates and roles they can cover.
