Volunteer For Concessions
Sep 13 @ 4:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Dorman HS Stadium Concessions

Mark this Date!
Hello Friends and Parents, as we approach the 2018-2019 school year the Dorman HS All Sports Booster Club has asked parents and or guardians of children in all school sports to take an active part in volunteering your time. We ask that On September 14, 2018 the parents of C Team, JV and Varsity Wrestling volunteer to work in our Home side Concession Snack Bar. We will need 1 person to arrive at 4pm to help making hot dogs and getting things started. We will also need 10 volunteers to arrive at 5:15 pm to work through 8:30 or just past the halftime show. And finally, 10 more volunteers to work from 8:30 pm to closing and for clean up duties. Getting the 21 volunteers will help make sure that we all work shorter time periods rather than all night as the case may be sometimes. Three-hour shifts are much easier to fill than eight hours.
Thank you all for your continued support and you can message me, text me at 864-580-8589 and or let me know by clicking yes with your desired times.
Thank You,
John Moreno
