- Get more volunteers: 12 people per serving line are needed and then volunteers for other area; if people show up, then their membership is paid, they get a shirt, ….
- Add more table tops or other tables for people to eat at; no chairs so people move on
- Skipper Otto set-up a table without checking with CTS – all tables to be checked by CTS and must be pre-approved
- Sell water? See if we can get bottled water or juices to sell (additional revenues)
