The Capital
Area Regional Local Council coordinates the watchlist for volunteers standing duty on the National Help Desk. We have many volunteers
- throughout the US - that checks the voice mailbox and incoming email and helps or refers the retiree with their inquiries.
The
system is setup so the volunteers can easily access the voice and email boexes from the comfort of their home anywhere internet access
is available. The "watch" extends from Monday morning to the following Monday morning. All that is required is for the watchstander
to check in several times a day in order to provide quality service to our retired community. An extensive Watchstander's Guide helps
you assist our members.
