Hello MLC Instructors!
Get ready – this is the weekend you’ve all been waiting for! It’s going to be busy, especially with the forecast and the start of multi-week program lessons. Be sure to leave early if you want to make it into the main lot – or take the team member shuttle! Don’t plan on getting food quickly from the Schuss or Fresh Tracks at lunch time as there will be a line. The Comfort Zone is a good option for lunch or some frozen microwavable food from Human Resources – or bring your own. We are going to need help with early morning setup at Ballroom Carpet, Buttercup, Equipment Check, as well as greeting, boot fitting, rental teching, and general help in the area that you are assigned – so please be early and ready to work when you arrive for your morning meeting – we will put you to good use – enriching the lives of our team members and guests!
There’s more – please read on …
