If their order includes hot food they will need to move to the side to wait until the hot food is prepared. Let your team mates know!

03.01.2022 Support a fellow Softballer! Hi family & friends, as some of you may know this month the month of August I’m participating in a fundraiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation called Step Up to Breast Cancer, this involves walking 10,000 steps a day which as some of you may know is not an easy challenge for me but I’m committed to doing my part in the fight for not only breast cancer but all kinds of cancer. It’s would be amazing if you all could donate to my fundraisi...ng page (which I will add the link into the end of the message) I know it may be hard to donate with everything that is going on in the world but even if it’s only $10 anything will help me smashing it to my target! I’ve already done 94,760 steps but still so many more to go Thank you so much for your support! http://fundraise.nbcf.org.au/fundraisers/danicakerr
