WELCOME TO THE SNACK SHACK
The Rye Little League Snack Shack is a fund raising venture for the Rye Little League. It is run solely by parent volunteers. Every family with a child playing in the Major Leagues and AAA league is asked to take a turn or two running the snack shack. A schedule has been prepared based on the two teams playing and each family taking turns. You work during a game your child is playing in.
PLEASE REVIEW THE SNACK SHACK SCHEDULE UNDER DOCUMENTS & FORMS SECTION OF THE WEBSITE.
Please find your name and the dates you are scheduled to run the snack shack.
If you are unable to work the shack on your scheduled date, it is up to
YOU to find a replacement, by switching a game with another family from your child’s team.
A Little League of America policy, prevents us from hiring a student to work your shift. If you switch with a family from yourteam, please note it on the schedule posted in the Snack Shack, so it is known who to expect to work that game.
THE FIRST NAME IS THE OPENER - THE SECOND NAME IS THE CLOSER
You are scheduled as either the “Opener” or the “Closer”. Both adults on the schedule work the entire shift, including
set-up and clean-up. The Opener picks the cash box up at Christin Keehbler’s house about 45 minutes before game
time. Both people scheduled to work should be at the Snack Shack about 30 minutes before game time. The Closer
returns the cash box to Christin’s house after clean-up is complete. Her address is 10 Whitehorse Drive.
Both Opener & Closer set up the snack shack and clean up the snack shack.
Please do not leave one person to do the clean up - it's a process that is best completed by 2 or more individuals.
If a game that you were scheduled to work the snack shack is canceled and rescheduled, you are responsible for working the shack on the rescheduled date.
If you are a “No-Show” for your scheduled shift, and have not taken the responsibility to find a replacement, you will be assigned two additional shifts during the play-offs. We are all volunteering our time, so please be respectful of everyone's time and commitment.
We will need additional volunteers to run the shack during the play-off games in June. You will be contacted once the schedule is made.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. THIS COMMUNITY EFFORT IS WHAT MAKES THE SNACK SHACK A PROFITABLE VENTURE, WHICH IN TURN ENABLES THE RYE LITTLE LEAGUE TO PURCHASE NEEDED SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT.
