3613 Coolidge St. NE St. Anthony, MN 55418 November 21, 1994 Mr. Larry Hamer St. Anthony Village City Hall 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418 Dear Mr. Hamer: As a follow-up to our telephone conversation this afternoon, I am including the details of our proposed hot chocolate sale .benefitting the Early Childhood Family Education program at the St. Anthony Community Center. We are interested in selling single-serving hot chocolate at the Central Park skating rink warming house on the weekends during the school district's winter break. We would probably sell from the hours of 1: 00 - 6: 00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in late December and early January. We would charge approximately .50 per cup. I have spoken with Steve Bray from the Hennepin County Health Department, and he stated that since the sale would be over a short period of time, was benefitting a not-for-profit organization, and involved little food handling, we would not need any special license or permit from the Health Department. He suggested only that we get our water from an "approved source" (ie: in compliance with Health Dept. standards) , use single-use disposable cups and stirrers, and use pre-packaged, single-serving hot cocoa mix (the type you mix with hot water) . In addition, he suggested that the sellers (people involved with the Early Childhood program) , use routine sanitation procedures (ie: washing hands) . The members of the ECFE Board feel that we would make some money to help finance our programs and allow us to purchase some needed equipment. We also feel that this would be a nice service for the skaters in the community. Please let me know of -the Council 's decision at your earliest convenience so that I can report to the ECFE Board at our next meeting. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Marie Pomeroy ECFE Board Member
