Packing donated goods for shipment to Haiti

The goal of this in-person event is to establish a packing list for goods to be shipped to Haiti. [Limited to 10 attendees to comply to social distancing requirements]. Carry your face mask please!

Task 1: Tabulating the weight & dimensions of all cartons and plastics crates, number coding them and entering the data into a spread sheet.

Task 2: Quality control of previously fabricated pillowcase dresses. On some of the dresses the bias tapes holding the dress on the shoulders were selected too short.

Task 3: Book titles are to typed & looked up on Amazon.com.
Then the title, short descriptive book description, suggested age group of the reader are to be cut and pasted into a spread-sheet.

Task 4: Similarly to the book titles, the description of the donated podiatric orthopedic goods are to looked up on Amazon.com
Once found, the description and very importantly the price of every type of goods are to be cut and pasted into a spreadsheet.

Task 5:
Inventorying the water rollers.
