It will be Wednesday, July 17th from 4pm-8pm at the Pioneer Park Picnic area near the playground (volunteers are invited from 5-7, but we will need &#8220;all hands on deck&#8221; for set-up and clean-up). We are inviting about 40 volunteers to this event, so there will be plenty of work to do and people to feed!<\/p>\n<p>Jeff is working on acquiring the food (as a donation from local businesses) and will be operating grills with chicken &amp; salmon (&amp; hot dogs for the kids). He is also talking to Mayor Hopkins about hopefully attending and making a small speech.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy has been soliciting &#8220;appreciation&#8221; items from the community (gift cards, etc) to give out to the volunteers. Her husband, Mel, is a wonderful musician and will provide musical entertainment with his guitar (folk\/rock\/standards).<\/p>\n<p>I am working on invitations with Sarah Smith. I&#8217;m also hoping for cards for each of the volunteers, signed by the kids and (if possible) a few stories about how specific volunteers have been helpful for specific kids.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what we need (from you, or someone you know who&#8217;s willing to give):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tablecloths<\/li>\n<li>Flower centerpieces for the tables<\/li>\n<li>Side Dishes (salads\/veggies\/bread)<\/li>\n<li>Beverages<\/li>\n<li>Desserts<\/li>\n<li>Items for kids activity table (coloring books, bubbles, sidewalk chalk)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please reply to this post and let us know what beverage, side dish, or dessert you&#8217;d like to bring, if you can supply vases, flowers, or tablecloths, OR if you&#8217;d prefer to donate money. Together we can throw a great party to show our volunteers just how much they mean to our organization!<\/p>\n<p>We will solidify all plans at our next meeting in July&#8230;which is just one week before the picnic!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks and happy summer.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Finnell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone, Just wanted to send a brief update on the picnic plans and make a few, minor requests of the group before our meeting in July so we&#8217;re prepared for a great event&#8230; First of all please please please put this event on your calendar ASAP!
