CONCESSIONS -
I would like to thank everyone who was able to volunteer for Concessions this last Playoff game and made it a success, as well as, throughout the season. We have one final event this weekend (Sat and Sun) for the UYFA (Union Youth Football Assn.) Championship Playoffs. Both Days start early and wrap-up late but it is a great opportunity to earn for the student accounts, especially 8th grade families. If you are not going to NYC, please join us as we need the volunteers. I'll bring the bacon and eggs for breakfast. If there are any questions, please contact me at concessions@unionbands.com. Click the button to SIGNUP now.
Thank YOU -
John Hayes
Concessions Director.

We need hands and feet to keep this wonderful engine running. If you are new - don’t worry - we all were at one time. Just show up and say ‘What can I do to help?’ and someone will teach/lead you what to do.
We need people to help dress the band, feed the band, water the band, concessions, chaperones, pushing, pulling - and so many more other areas …
Please consider investing your time as a volunteer, and let us know if you have any questions. And thank you for everything you do for the Union Bands program!
