​DERTy Diner Fees

OPT OUT - If you have dietary needs and don't want to risk eating the food provided at DERTy Diner, you can opt out and bring your own food everyday. If you want to opt out, send an email to admin@dert2040.com with your name and your plan.

CHECK HOLD - The point of the $200 DERTy Diner fee is to cover the costs of feeding the team if a family doesn't provide a meal. If you plan to provide a meal, and would like me to just hold the check and return it to you after you provide a meal, I can do that. If you paid this week, and I have the check, I can hold it, just send me an email. If you plan to pay Saturday, Please send a note telling me this with the check. If you DON'T plan to provide a meal, please let me know that as well so we can schedule a day when we do "take out".  

​Thank you!!

Thank you for your patience as we make changes. We have never had to work with this many students and we will probably be tweaking our processes all season.
