2003 Updates
July 7, 2003: From Ginny Fichten
(ginny@fichten.com): Hello Boosters! Since the names on Dave's
volunteer list are pretty much the same as last week, thought I'd let the
rest of you know just what we do at Nissan in case you're wondering how you
can help...
Upon arrival, we all get gussied up in the fashionable Aramark shirts and
hats. We wipe down all the counters in the booth, and do an inventory of all
the cups, food and drinks. We salt big pretzels and put them in the warmer.
We scoop popcorn into bags and put the bags in the warmer. We move soda and
water bottles from the fridges to the front coolers and ice them down. We
mix up margarita mix and get the machine going (this IS Kenny Chesney's
"Senoritas and Margaritas" tour, you know!). Now we're ready for the
evening.
Just before the gates open, we log in our cash registers and get ready to
serve our customers. During the event some of us will work the registers --
easy job since each item is marked on the pad. Just punch in "Pepsi" or
"draft beer" or whatever and you're done! Others will fill orders -- pulling
beers, pouring the bottled beers into cups, filling wine cups from the wine
box, filling margarita cups from the machine, grabbing pretzels and popcorn
from the warmers. Others will help with stuff like re-stocking the front
coolers with drinks and ice, making the margarita mix, taking out trash
(especially needed when we have to pour the water and soda into cups!),
wiping down counters and go-fering.
Near the end of the concert Aramark will cut off sales of alcohol and
that's when we start cleaning up -- putting sodas and water back in the
fridges, wiping down counters, recounting all the cups and food and drinks
so we can see how much we sold, and just general straightening.
There's nothing hard about volunteering at Nissan -- and we really do
have a lot of fun out there. Hope we'll see some new faces joining us this
weekend!

2003 Season Information
Coordinator: Mr. Dave Elcano
DElcano@bacweb.org - Dave is a GRADUATING rower's father WHOSE ROWER
WON’T BENEFIT FROM THIS FUNDRAISING) - Kudos to you Dave!
Reporting time: this will vary from concert to concert and I will
usually specify the reporting time in the pre-concert email.
Uniforms: No open toed shoes...sorry...very important...can't
work there if you wear open toed shoes (they have sent volunteers home...we want
to equip you for success!! <grin>). Comfortable shoes, a must...we'll be
standing a bit...Khaki pants/shorts (no blue jeans)...If you have your Aramark
hats from a previous year please bring them.
Parking: Nissan South Parking lot (approx area: A15, the parking lot
is essentially one of the very first you come to (farthest away from the
stadium, but still within sight as you drive up Wellington Road from the
southeast; if there are parking attendants, tell them you are working the
concessions but park where they tell you if they tell you to park). Here is a
photo for reference:
Entry: Walk from the parking toward the back of the Nissan pavilion
(South Entrance); look for other volunteers and concession workers; you will
come to a security guard at the gate (usually under an umbrella)...volunteers
provide their name and the guard will look up your name on the fax that I send
in to Nissan; the guard will likely be hot, busy, and cranky<nahhhhh!>...if
there is a problem, don't yell at him.
Miscellaneous:
After you get through the guard, smile serenely, and proceed along the bank
of assorted buildings (~100 feet) until you see what looks like the back
entrance to a kitchen (It is). Very important: Go just inside the door of the
kitchen and locate our sign in sheet and sign in....Hylton Crew ...on the sheet
located somewhere amongst the moving disaster area that is the sign in table
<grin>. This is how we get paid!!
If I am not there at the sign-in table, ask if anyone knows where the group
from Hylton Crew is.
We will explain the cash registers and various jobs once we see the specific
assignments. If you need rides, please contact me or contact someone on the list
above. Any additional questions? Please email or call. Thank you for helping to
make the Hylton Crew program better for our kids!
Thank you! Tom Riddle
