Hosting Information
HOSTING PROCEDURES. Each new member should get personal training on hosting procedures.
a) The list of hosting procedures is located in the HCSR kitchen, on the back of each Member Roster booklet and on the website. Members must log in and out as required by HPR, recording time in and time out with name and signature in the log located on the cabinet door in the kitchen.
b) Unless there is prior written approval, by the HCSR president, no electric cords will be plugged into the HCSR Cottage. No extension cords can be left plugged into the HCSR Cottage outlets overnight going through outside windows or doors.
c) Be sure all flags are brought inside the cottage, close windows, lock both doors and put key inside the lock box at the back door.
d) Refreshments:
The host is NOT required to serve refreshments (coffee, tea, lemonade, cookies, cakes, etc.) at the HCSR cottage, but if refreshments are served, host cannot charge for them but may, however, accept donations. Host must hold a valid food handler certificate if refreshments served are not individually prepackaged.
1. Holders of a current Food Handler Certificate may:
a. Make coffee and or lemonade.
b. Serve baked pastries or cakes.
2. If baked goods include icing, the icing must not contain raw eggs and should be applied at the cottage.
The usual number of servings is around 50. Baked goods must be displayed in the plexiglass display container.
3. Hosts who do not hold a current Food Handler Certificate: Cannot not serve any drinks including coffee, tea, lemonade. Only unopened non-alcoholic store-bought, single serving beverages may be served to guests.
b. May only serve single prepackaged food or baked goods in food-grade approved containers from a store, manufacturer, food facility or other approved source.
It is strictly forbidden to request a amount of donation or refuse to give food to anyone even if they choose not to leave a donation as per HPR and City of San Diego.
Children under age of 18 may not receive any food unless permitted by their parent. Please ask the parent before giving anything to the children.
Clean display case using Handiwipe. DO NOT USE WATER/PAPER TOWELS ON PLEXIGLASS.
To prevent pests infestation in our cottage, please make sure the cottage is vacumed and all food particles removed! Place grounds in plastic lined trash can. Empty all trash cans into large can outside the Cottage. Put new liners in trash cans (liners on top right shelf in kitchen). Wipe up all crumbs and spills. Vacuum the rug in both rooms—vacuum stored in bathroom. Bring in flags, welcome sign/stand and lock all windows/doors. Place wooden wedge in French doors. Turn off all lights including lights in display case.
At closing, host(s) count donation money, complete receipt in duplicate (book on bottom shelf above kitchen counter), make sure both host names are on the receipt along with hosting date, sign receipt and remove the original copy. One host takes the money and receipt home, writes a check made out to HCSR for the amount, and mails receipt and check to: Jarka Oujesky, 8733 Flanders Drive, San Diego, Ca 92126. Pre-addressed, stamped mailing envelopes are with the receipt book.
UPON LEAVING THE COTTAGE, BE SURE TO FILL OUT THE HOSTING SHEET (TIME OF OPENING AND CLOSING THE COTTAGE, NAME AND SIGNATURE OF THE HOST). LOCK THE PATIO DOOR AND RETURN KEY TO THE LOCK BOX. CHECK TO BE SURE THE LOCK BOX IS SECURELY CLOSED.
