The Front-Line for Operation at Ease are the volunteers directly supporting one family during their visit.  Each family has someone serving in these roles specifically for them

Greeter: Each family has an experienced, personal greeter assigned.  However, greeters responsibilities start well before arrival

• The greeter is in touch with the family about a week prior to answer questions and arrange a time
• The afternoon of arrival the greeter ensures the condo is ready, picks up the key and places the meals prepared for Friday dinner, and both breakfasts in the condominium
• At the arranged time, greeters meet their guests, escort them to the condo and go over information to make the weekend even more enjoyable
• Greeters then fade into the sunset, so our guests have family time...but are always just a phone call or text away
• After the visit, the greeter ensures everything is wrapped up after the family departs.

Meal Preparation:  Every family receives three home cooked meals during their stay.  Each prepared by a different volunteer and custom-made to fit the family size and accommodate any dietary concerns.  Meals are dropped off the day of the family's arrival, so they are fresh.

Photographers:  Each family has the opportunity spend an hour or so at a predetermined time and location with an OAE volunteer photographer.  All are dedicated to the craft, and many have actually been in the field professionally.  OAE guests then receive a memory stick with photos uploaded from that session.  The photos are not meant to cover the weekend but provide the opportunity for the entire family to be photographed.

Boat Captains:  When an OAE family selects a boat ride as their Saturday Activity, a St. James boat owner provides them with a ride.  Southport, Holden Beach, Oak Island and other places are as scenic from the water as they are from land.
