SUMMARY:Kids Cook for Hotel de Zink
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, June 15\, at 5:00-6:45pm\, our kids (ages 5-13\, or grades K-8) will be gathering in the St. Mark’s kitchen to cook for our Hotel de Zink guests! This will be our last year getting to do this\, as HdZ is changing its model – and every year\, our kids really connect with this event. Join us\, and bring friends! \nSome important things to note: \nPickup Time: Due to HdZ policy\, all kids MUST be off the property by 7pm. Please plan to pick up your kids by 6:45! \nPlease Eat First: I understand that this is typically dinnertime for most families – however\, it is not hygienic to have kids eating while also preparing food for others\, and there is no time to have a separate meal before we start cooking. Therefore\, we will not be providing food for kids at this event. It would be ideal if your kids ate a snack/meal ahead of time. Thank you so much!
