Only Fountain water and gallon water will be used. No individual disposable water bottles allowed. You are encouraged to bring your own re-usable water bottles.

All plates, spoons, hot cups and napkins will be compostable and will go in specific bins. Please do not throw trash into these bins.
-
There will be recycle bins for all other uncompostable but recyclable waste.
