Early Morning Coffee

Responsibilities

This job is for a morning person! You must make sure the early birds among us have their java, etc. If getting up before 6am is hard for you, you can recruit others to get up in your stead.

As of 2023 or so, there is a coffee station (with hot water, packets of hot cocoa, tea, etc.) available all day long near the Snack Bar entrance to the Dining Hall. Night Crew generally makes sure that there's a fresh batch of coffee ready for the early morning conferees before handing off responsibility to the Bellhops and kitchen staff somewhere around 7am. The Pelicans will set up and replenish supplies as needed, but you will need to let them know when things are running low. Often there is a bit of a rush just before and just after the polar bear dip. It is good to check supplies as the polar bears are going down towards the dock.

Occasionally you may be called upon to work with the Pelicans on other early morning requests, such as the overnight cleaning of baby bottles by the dish room.

Mostly, this is a monitoring job and can be done by one person if they get up early every morning, or it can be shared by 2 people who alternate.  It's a pretty easy job, as long as you are a morning person.

Ronde Bradley also brought a thermos of coffee to the speaker, who appreciated it! Feel free to check with the current speakers to see if they want that service.
