Committee confirms hot‑chocolate and marshmallow staffing for holiday events; tree‑lighting served ~2,200 cups last year
Summary
Staff said the tree-lighting historically serves roughly 2,200 cups of hot chocolate; the committee arranged volunteers for hot‑chocolate and marshmallow preparation for the holiday market and tree‑lighting.
A Staff member recounted past service levels for the tree-lighting, saying, "I make, 2,200 cups of hot chocolate and I give them all away." Members discussed volunteer coverage and agreed to specific shift times (Friday and Saturday) to ensure continuity of service without purchasing additional staff hours.
The committee also reviewed marshmallow staffing and kitchen coverage; one member volunteered to mix hot chocolate at 12 p.m. on Saturday and handle marshmallow testing. The group emphasized relying on volunteers and existing staff instead of approving new expenditures for the hospitality elements.
