Team Pasta Party

Event Details

It has become tradition to get together as a team for a laid-back spaghetti dinner before our state meet. However, this year, we began to recognize that us hosting the state meet might bring additional / unexpected responsibilities the night before. For this reason, we have decided to change the date of the team pasta party to Friday, October 18. At the end of this email, there will be a link for a Sign Up Genius to RSVP your runner for the meal or to volunteer to provide food and / or serve that night.

We always keep the pasta party group to mostly runners (6th grade – 12th grade); however, we will need some adult volunteers to help set up, clean up, and serve food. If you volunteer to help that night, please also include yourself (please do not include any additional siblings or family members) with your runner in the RSVP for the meal. Also, we are very blessed with so many of you who are quick to offer your time and talents even before we realize there is a need. This does not go unnoticed and is what makes things run so smoothly. For this event, we would like to be intentional about offering any new moms or dads a chance to jump in and serve. If you’re nervous about signing up, don’t be! This event usually runs itself and you will find it an easy place to jump in. New moms / dads – take Tuesday to decide if you’d like to volunteer to serve the night of the pasta dinner. After that, Wednesday is open for any and all returning runner families to jump in how you feel led. Again, thank you all for everything you do.

How can you help?

1. See below for the Sign Up Genius to RSVP and check the options for volunteering and/or bringing items. We must have a RSVP for everyone who will be eating. Please try to send your response by Friday, October 11 so we can make sure we will have enough food.
2. If you purchase items for this event, you can be reimbursed from team funds if that would help. Please give your receipt to me when you bring your item.
3. If you sign up to bring paper products / utensils / etc, please get that to either myself or Allison Ward at practice Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday prior to the pasta dinner.
4. If you sign up to bring a food item, please make sure that the food is there at 5:40 prepared and ready to eat. This will allow us to have the food set up and ready to eat as close to 6pm as possible.
5. GLUTEN FREE NEEDS! If your runner needs to have gluten free options, please email me directly. We want to make sure that we have enough, but not too much food available. Also, if you’re interested in providing gluten free pasta, please also let me know that in your reply.
