Concessions/Hospitality
Committee
The Concessions/Hospitality Committee is responsible for
coordinating the food, candy & drinks that are available during swim
meets. Hospitality is provided during the meets for coaches and
officials since they typically on deck during every session and do not
have time to go outside of the facilities to eat. Concessions are
sold to meet participants and their families during meets as a
convenience. Concessions and hospitality are now catered by
Louisiana Bayou Bistro. Volunteers are needed in hospitality to
serve food and drinks to the coaches and officials and to make sure that
this service is not abused by non-coaches/non-officials.
Volunteers are also needed to assist in the set up of these areas prior
to meets. These areas also report to the Meet Director on
progress of set up and coordination prior to meets. A wristband is
required in order to receive food & drinks from hospitality.
These areas are in need of 2 people to chair them. In the interim
please contact Michele LeJeune to volunteer.
Michele's email address is
