VGCA Pool Concessions Stand volunteers needed

/in , /by

Parents — we are looking for a volunteer that can help oversee the concession stand this summer.  It requires the following:

  • stocking inventory
  • setting pricing
  • collecting money
  • overseeing preteen and early teens — preferably your child(ren) and maybe a friend or two of theirs.
  • you set the hours and work around when the clubhouse is rented out.

It is a great way to teach them about customer service, handling money, and making a profit.

All profits go back to VGCA.  Tips go to the volunteers for the day.

Please message Donnie on FB or call/txt me at 757-768-9326 for additional details.

Thank you.
