A concern was raised about the cleaning of this unit and storage thereof – Would not want to keep this in the concession stand – It could “walk away”.

Chris Hayden will handle the Coca Cola Orders and Amy Monnat will handle the food purchases. Game Day Volunteers: Rich Green will film the games. We are in need of an Announcer.
