Candy Table/Bakery Team

Want to bring a baked good? Sure just bring with your volunteer shift! Candy, cookies, bars – finger foods, nothing plated.

Food Servers, Friday 5:30pm (40 people)

500 Teens for a Sit Down Dinner Please be at Mountainbrook at 5:45 on Friday, May 27th and plan to stay until 9pm. We could use another 10 volunteers here.

•    Servers should wear black pants and white shirts.
•    Food will be served FAMILY STYLE, meaning each table will get a plate of meat, bowl of beans, basket of bread and large salad. Then they serve themselves.
•    Tables will already be set.
•    After dinner we will remove several of the tables to make room for the dance floor. This will be a methodical process we will walk through that night!
•    We will also clear off the tables left in the room and clean up the serving area!

After-Party Set up (20 people)

Please arrive at Mountainbrook by 7:30 on Friday, May 27th. If you can stay for clean up that would be awesome.

•    The after party will be set up while the kids are inside dancing, so that it is fun and surprising when they come out.
•    It will be a vintage surf theme.
•    There will be a vintage photo booth trailer, food trucks and tables.
•    There will be an outside movie screen playing the original Footloose.
•    We are working on getting a band for an outdoor concert.
•    There will be 200 helium balloons to help decorate.
•    We will need your help at 8:30 to break down the tables on the dance floor and bring them out to the parking lot for the after party.

Clean up Crew (25 people), Friday Night, 10:30pm to 1am

Please come to Mountainbrook at 10:45 pm on May 27th. Our goal is to be out by 1am.

The dance ends at 11:00, and then the inside clean up begins. Tables and chairs need to be put away, decorations taken down, and garbage put out. The lobby will also need to be cleaned up. The after party ends at 12:00 and then THAT clean up begins.  The goal is to pull out of the parking lot by 1:00 am. With enough help, we can!
