6) What do we do with our lunches?Please pack all of your lunches into a cardboard box with your group’s name on it. Bring the boxes with you into the building and drop them off on the lunch carts. The COSI Team will deliver them to your lunchroom for you. Refrigerators and microwaves are NOT available for use at COSI.7) What do we do with our coats?If at all possible, we suggest leaving your coats and bags on the buses. If you do need to bring them into the building, the COSI Team will help you store coats in large lockers. COSI will provide quarters for one-time access to the lockers. Once the locker has been opened, you will need to pay 50 cents to lock it. |
