I was neatening up the ward computer files and got to thinking that the work put in on our emergency plan might benefit someone else. We started from scratch in April with a near miss on a flood. So I will share what we did and the basic files here.
We created notebooks for each of the auxilary presidents, Bishop, one to have in the church building, and one spare that brought us to 11. Found we were missing one for the stake emergency coordinator and a new excutive secretary decided he might need one too.(which he might) So a one labelled generically bishopric was created for him. This brings the total notebook count to 13. This is still a work in progress but I will share more as more sections are completed.
The basic notebook is a 1 inch 3 ring binder white in color with the 3 clear pockets for inserts on the outside. Into that for now goes an 8 large tab divider. Under the theory that neat might get it better taken care of and more likely kept around, fair care has been taken to keep it at least marginally professional. Here are the files for the notebook itself. The spine file prints the strips for the notebook spine.(quick hints here. 1. the paper cutter is your friend, 2. open the notebook completely while inserting the strips) The cover file prints the front covers. For them a quick search and replace will let you replace Greybull with your ward name. If your ward name is long enough that "ward" needs to scroll to the next line simply move the top margin on the page up to .25" and will still print neatly. The tabs file prints tabs for Staples assorted color 8 large tab insertable dividers. Since it prints 2 sets of dividers per card you will still have nearly half of the cards left to make changes in the future.
I will post those 3 files and the table of contents file to this post. The table of contents is actually the main one and 2 for later tabs. In future posts I will cover what was done for each of the tabs and provide files and links where I can.
