• Thursday, May 27th (morning): drop off your concession items
  • PLEASE – read the item you signed up for very carefully and purchase exactly what is requested (size, brand, quantity). Trust us…our concessions team knows what they are doing. Don’t mess with them! :-)
  • Your concession items must be brought to the pool on Thursday, May 27th between 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM (and placed on the table near the microwave in the upper pavilion). THIS IS CRITICAL. Do not deliver your item before 8:30 AM or after 10:30 AM. Concession Chair, Anne Koch, will be on deck to receive your items.
  • If there is an exception to the delivery time on an item, it will be clearly marked on the sign-up page.
  • When dropping off, please be sure your item is marked with your name so that we can check you off.
