agreed, we dont have to use all 8 worker signs.. should depend on the
course.
can the new signup sheet make all the essential positions in one place on
the front so its easy to see at a glance if they are filled?
is there a way to put a row of course worker signups on the front too?- its
distracting to flip the sheet back and forth and harder to find someone
signed up on the wrong group. if helpful, ill be glad to assist with
editing.
