WELCOME TO CHEEMA CANTEEN 2011

The summer canteen will be run and organized by year round paddlers and their parents. The money generated with this fundraiser will go towards the purchase of new boats. The athletes who work in the canteen will receive a nominal fee.

During the summer program the canteen is open daily for lunch Monday to Friday from 11:30-1:00. A volunteer parent is usually there from 11:00 to 1:00 each day to prep for lunch. A special is served daily. A sample menu will be posted at the club and on the web site. Our emphasis is on Healthy Eating! There will be a few treats throughout the week but they will be limited to freezies, homemade style cookies, and occasionally yogurt/fruit parfaits or jello.

Paddlers may make purchases from the canteen with cash or parents can set up a tab for their children. For your convenience there will be a volunteer parent at the club on Orientation Day and opening day, so you can set up a canteen tab at that time. Throughout the summer you can send a cheque with your child (in a plastic baggy please) to the club, made out to Cheema Canteen. They can bring it to the canteen at lunch time or give it to their coach and the amount will be added to their tab. (If you wish you may send a small current school picture that will be stapled to their tab for reference purposes only.)

Allergy Alert – peanuts, cashews, and almonds are available at the canteen on a daily basis.

We are always in need of canteen items. It is a great way to get involved and help support your club. If you like to bake, muffins and cookies are very popular with the kids, Jello cups are also a favorite. Some other items that we use on a daily basis and we always need lots are:

plastic spoons/forks/knives

small and large paper plates and bowls

napkins

bottled water

If you would like to make a donation, if you are interested in volunteering in the canteen or have any questions or concerns please contact Laurel Lea Nelson at laurelleanelson@eastlink.ca., or Magi Mollins at mbmollins@accesscable.net.

We look forward to another great summer at Cheema!
