Because we’ve had difficulty staffing the concession stand, the Board of Directors approved a new Volunteer Policy which will go into effect with the spring 2011 season. The key element is a $50 fine if you don’t show up for your concession stand duty.

"Part of making the game day experience a good one is offering a concession stand," says Mark True, president. "We’ve done a lot to improve our concession stand…adding hot chocolate, hot dogs, pop corn and cold beverages for families on the run on a busy Sunday afternoon. And it’s a good revenue source to supplement our registration fees.

"But we can’t make that money or provide that service if volunteers don’t show up, so we’re going to have to implement this penalty to ensure that volunteers who sign up for concession stand duty actually show up."

Read the new policy on the policies/forms page.

The board understands that things come up and a person may not be able to fulfill their duty. That’s why they are allowed to find a replacement. And there are other opportunities to volunteer. 

If you like to be outdoors, we have grounds work that needs to be done…at work days or throughout the year. If working on the computer is your thing, you can help with registration or serve on the fundraising committee, helping identify sources of grant monies. And if you like working with people, we can always use you to help recruit additional volunteers.

To let us know how you’d like to serve, contact the volunteer coordinator, Bridgett Davis at 989-6000.
