If you can't take the heat, get your...self...IN the kitchen!
Concessions chair needed…or concessions coordinator…or just anyone who wants people to be happy. You want people to be happy, right? Right??? THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!
Right now, we have no one in charge of concessions for HOST this summer, which means no concessions can be offered during the meets. But YOU can change that. You alone, you and helpers, you and a committee you form, it’s up to you! YOU have the power to save summer swim.
Concessions is one of the sweetest gigs on the block (See what I did there? Sweet? Like candy? Cause there’s candy. You get me.). In case you’re missing the big, awesome picture, here are the perks:
- We only have three home meets, so concessions is basically a half-time job.
- It’s air-conditioned in there!
- You can still see your kids swim – you’re not stuck in the building; you can come and go.
- You don’t have to be a Board member, though you can be if that’s your jam. (We’re a fun group. You’d love it.) Concessions is normally a Board position, but beggars can’t be choosers, am I right?
- You do not have to run out and pick up food during the meet – pizza and Chick-fil-a deliver!
- Set up begins around 4pm, you have lots of help, and did I mentioned it’s air-conditioned???
- Concessions closes at 9. You’ll still have lots of help, and you’ll easily be able to clean up and be out by the end of the meet.
- This is a great job for people with little kids because they can hang with you, in the nice cool building, on a sea of chips and granola bars.
- We take cash and credit. Not necessarily a perk, but it keeps customers happy, which keeps you happy.
- We will provide you a comprehensive list of what to do, when to do it, and even how to do it. You can’t fail at this!
There’s only two potential downsides, so let’s discuss:
- You have to make a few Costco runs for things like soda, water, granola bars, chips, candy, plates, napkins, etc. You get the drift. But you’re spending OUR money, not your money, so it’s like a shopping spree! You can even time yourself and run through the store like a maniac, Supermarket Sweep-style! (Don’t call us if you get arrested; we’ll say you stole our credit card and leave you high and dry.)
- You have to pick up ice from McDonald’s on meet day. Yes, McDonald’s! They donate our ice. Pretty cool (again with the puns! I slay me!). But while you’re there, power up with a Big Mac, a McFrappe, or just some good old-fashioned French fries. You won’t be sorry.
This job clearly sells itself. Reach out to us now to secure your spot - you know this opportunity to be the one with all of the power (read: Snickers bars) is going to go fast, and you don't want to miss your chance!
