To create a service name in SCRIBE using Xcalibur's service naming convention use the following:

OneT services have are intended to be a one time event. Example: A two day trip to a college campus, or a one day FAFSA event.
Rec services are intended to be a recurring service over a long period of time. Example: a mentoring service which occurs twice a month over the course of the school year, or a tutoring service which is offered every Tues/Thurs from October-May.

MMM: first 3 letters of the month (Oct, Jan, May, etc.)
YYYY: year (2020, 2021, 2022, etc.)
