Chamblee Parents - Concessions Coordinator Needed
The Chamblee facility is looking for a parent to assume the concessions coordinator role.    Jenni Couture has performed this job for the past 6 months, however, a recent job change has made it impossible for her to continue in this position. This is a great opportunity for a parent/family who would like to become more involved at Dynamo. All of the work for this job is done prior to the meet and the parents who were assisting Jenni as coordinator are prepared to stay on and continue their roles. Organizational skills are a plus! Please note that if you assume this position for the entire year, this will replace your meet requirements. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Coach Beth at bethwinkowski@hotmail.com.
 
Refrigerator Needed for Concessions Stand
The Dynamo concessions stand is in need of a “new” refrigerator. If you can donate your old refrigerator or know someone who has an old refrigerator to donate to Dynamo, please contact Coach Beth at bethwinkowski@hotmail.com or 770-457-7946 ext. 16.
