Wyndham Bonnet Creek Pay It Forward Bin OUTDATED

[lisski76]

Based on the info I had when we used Bin #2 in March, the bin colors are:

Bin #1 = lime green
Bin #2 = silver/grey
Bin #3 = blue

The WBC employees know nothing about DISboards or the pay it forward. Or at least they act like that. Just tell them your name and that the bin is in the luggage room at the main tower.

Does anyone have an update on bin 3? Is it lost? Was it restarted and if so when?

Bell services said they couldn't find it when I was there March 21-28. I let the people coming in behind me know that. They were considering starting a new one but I am not sure if they did.

It is weird that people are having trouble finding the bins. We have had both bin #1 and 2 over the past few months and both times bell services knew exactly what I was talking about when I said I wanted the disboards bin and let me into the bell services room to grab it! Must be luck of the draw who you get. I would ask to be let into the bell services room and look for yourselves. It is not that big a room so it should be easily located!

You may be right. I totally think it's luck of the draw and in hindsight I should have been pushier. I considered going back and trying to ask a different person but didn't get it done. I noticed similar experiences trying to get something taken care of within our unit.

So is bin 3 still missing?

So is bin 3 still missing?

Waiting to make that call to see if the next person can find if or not. Hopefully if it is we will be able to get it restarted.

 

[lindaprvs]

Chelly- Did you get my request for a bin??

 

[Chelley00]

Okay, all. A couple of housekeeping announcements:

#1. Bin 3 has possibly gone missing again. Sefoti will look for it this week and we will make some decisions depending on whether or not it is found. Hopefully it will be found or someone will offer to restart it. I'm not going to schedule anyone for Bin 3 until we decide what's happening.

#2. Make sure you drop off the bin at bell services at the MAIN BUILDING and not at building 6 so they are all located in a central location.

#3. Please be respectful and realize that people are counting on getting the bin and its contents after you. Only take out what you will use on your trip and leave things in good order.

#4. Please remember that I am just a volunteer here. I do this because we loved having the bin during our trips and loved the spirit of helping out fellow travelers.

I live 989 miles from WBC and I am not able to check on the bins if they go missing, have junk in them or are practically empty because someone either used everything or took stuff home.

I also do not deserve any bad treatment if the bins have issues. I ONLY coordinate who gets what bin and when. I have no control over whether or not someone picks it up or leaves it behind or what is in it. I'm doing the best I can, but I'm working 60 hours a week, have 4 kids and don't really have time to respond to PMs from disgruntled people who just want to complain about things I can't fix from almost 1,000 miles away.

off my soapbox and sorry if anyone is offended

Chelley, if you have a moment please check your pm's.

Chelly- you are doing a GREAT job. Thank you! I organized something like this years ago-so I know the amount of work it takes. Thank you again!!

It (Bin #3) may be lost. When I went to get bin #2 last week, I went in the room and I did not see another bin. Maybe Bin #3 was left at building 6?

 

[Sefoti]

I am here and will attempt to locate bin 3. If it's not here I can try to start it again. I will keep you posted.

 

[Sefoti]

So I checked for it and it is not here. Sounds like it has not been seen in a long time according to the valet.

THANK YOU For all you do!!!!!!!!

No problem. I will start it back up when I leave. It may be a bit bare for a while but at least it will be here.

Chelly, FWIW I sincerely appreciate you managing the list. I think there are people that don't fully understand the whole 'pay it forward' concept. For me, it was a treat to see what was in the bin. Mind you, quite a bit of it wasn't anything we needed; but it was still great to have the things that we did need without having to buy it. When we left, I felt good that I was able to put things like spray sunscreen and a AAA Diamond parking pass in the bin for the next person.

Again, thanks so much for being the Director of Bin Forwarding Operations.

 

[Sefoti]

Bin 3 is up and running. Ready for next person.

 

[katallo]

We have Bin 1. There was an abundance of bounce dryer sheets and food had to be tossed. But, we were able to do a good restock. Our bin was left at. Tower 6. The bellman at Tower 6 asked everyone to leave all bins at the main building because of their storage size.
