Staff Received an email WLMHA Fundraising Committee, requesting to set up a concession/merchandise area in the warm room/concession area. Snacks will be pre-packaged chips, pop, candy, etc., not requiring use of the full kitchen/canteen area.
The board and staff discussed this request at length, and advised they will provide access to the front concession area only, with no access to the kitchen. The kitchen has not been operational since before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, with no current plans to facilitate the require repairs. This will be a trial bases for the 2024/25 season. Staff requested no popcorn as mentioned in the email due to the mess and clean-up required. Staff also requested that all items to be taken with WLMHA at the end of the game/event to ensure West Elgin recreation staff are not responsible or liable for the items, and the area will be locked at the end of the employee's shift. Ms. Small guaranteed that the area will be cleared after each event, and WLMHA will not allow children to be in the canteen area.
