Open House for Mitchell Cordero on Sunday, April 27

Dear Friends of Swimming,

After 11 years of tireless work running concessions for TCAC, WMS, and MLA, Mitchell has hung up his cap. Please join us at an open house in his honor on Sunday, April 27, from 3-5 pm in the multi-purpose room at the Aquatic Center.

Come thank Mitchell for his years of VOLUNTEER service as head of concessions. Under his very competent direction, he and our parent volunteers raised many, many dollars to support our swimmers, teams, and facility. We couldn't have done it without him.

Kathy Stratton, MLA Boosters

Thanks to the MLA Boosters for assembling this much-deserved party for Mitch!  The following is note from HCAC Executive Director about the many contributions that Mitchell has made to the programs here at the Aquatic Center:

Mitch, thanks for your passion for competitive swimming & diving success!  Your years of tireless efforts to make others time here better has been much appreciated!  Let’s face it, watching swimming & diving in a hot venue isn’t always a fan’s favorite place to be… but your efforts in that concession hot box to make it more enjoyable really helped us survive!

Mitch, thanks for providing great food and doing it so efficiently!  I know from other concessions, almost anyone can provide candy bars and chips but you never did that.  We were always thankful and amazed to find fresh fruit and juices and even sliced strawberries that I find difficult to find at home!  You would think you must work in the Health Industry.  Overall, it was always really nice for all of us, whether fans, part of HCAC, or part of a competitive team using this facility, to know that everything was completely under control when it came to our concession stand!  And, making money!  Thanks!

One last thing to say thanks for; October’s Girls State Meet was my first big meet here at HCAC.  Do you remember what happened?  That Saturday morning we burned some popcorn and set off the fire alarm while everyone in the swimming pool was warming up!  Everyone looking at me with what to do! Thanks for the baptism by fire Mitch!!

To honor yours years of support, and willingness to consult with the next great HCAC Concessions leader, please accept this family membership to HCAC!

We really appreciate what you have done for all of us Mitch!

THANKS!

Jack Huisingh
Executive Director
