Routine Email
(This was a national event. The first rehearsal was about to be taken underway. After all of the planning was scheduled this email served as a reminder to alert all of the personnel involved.)
1. Please make sure that there are plenty of Handi-Wipes available in lieu of a handwashing facility for the people who are making the food.
2. Please use many sets of (plastic or metal tongs etc.) instead of reusable utensils. This will preclude the sanitization. The utensils will then be taken back to the military complex.
3. Transport the potentially hazardous food in refrigerated units or use dry ice to keep them cold.
4. Store the food in the refrigerators if dry ice cannot be used.
5. Place a tarp under the grills so as not have grease damage to the parking lot.
6. Provide plenty of trash containers for the disposal of all waste food.
(Routine morale events were planned during the training for several hundred personnel. Since most of the people served as volunteers. This was the guideline used to avoid problems they may encounter.)
