WHY DID WE MAKE THE CHANGE:
We have between 40 and 60 part time vendors each week sending in requests.  Tracking attendance requests and FT absence notifications via email and text is time consuming for staff and vulnerable to human errors. The form is an unbiased way to collect the data that you enter yourself. As the Market continues to grow, we need to find ways to be more efficient and consistent.
HOW IT WORKS:
Both forms can be found at DowntownLKLD.com/DFCMattendance.  This page is not visible to the public so you have to type in the URL or click a link sent to you.  It will always be sent to you in the weekly email requesting your submissions, and in the vendor newsletter that comes out on Fridays.
We will TURN off the forms on Wednesdays at 10am. That is and has been  the deadline for part time requests, so nothing changes there. We turn off the form because we have to make the map. We need a HARD STOP on submissions so that late entries are not missed.
Fill out the form that applies to you.
Frequently asked questions:
How do I know if you received my submission?
Once you click the submit button, a copy of your submission will be emailed to you.
If I have to cancel after I submit my attendance what do I do?
We allow you to request attendance 6 weeks in advance, but we don’t recommend that you fill out more than a month in advance at a time.  Things change. Life happens.  There is no urgency to fill out the request that far in advance.
If you do, then to make changes you will have to fill out the form AGAIN with the NEW attendance request for that month.  Because submissions are date/time stamped, we will always defer to the MOST RECENT form if we have multiple submissions from you the same month.  You are welcome to fill out the form each week and only choose the immediate Saturday for attendance.
What if I have to cancel after Wednesday at 10am?
If you are cancelling for the immediate Saturday following the Wednesday at 10am deadline, you have until noon on Thursday to text or email your cancellation with no penalty.  Cancellations after noon on Thursday, Friday or Saturday will result in you still being obligated to pay the invoice.  We understand emergencies happen and will assess on a case by case basis. We track cancellation dates and times by each vendor.
