We have arranged to allow athletes to eat in our cafeteria on Friday, April 25. The cafeteria will be open from 5:30 to 9:30 PM. Athletes will use a meal ticket which each school may purchase for $6.00 per person. The meal is an all-you-can-eat situation.

Coaches I need to have your meal order by Monday, April 21 so that the staff can prepare adequately for the number of athletes that will be eating.

You can pay in advance or bring the check with you to the meet. I do need you to return the form by April 21 though. You will be charged for the number of meals that you order not meals used.

We hope that this will make feeding your athletes easier on Friday. Coaches you do not need to worry about purchasing meals for yourself or staff. We will be providing a meal in the hospitality area on Friday for Coaches and Officials.
