We
were unable to reserve a pavilion, so lets hope the weather is nice! An SVTC member's company, Outlaw Graphics, is donating some signs to SVTC - so just look for the sign that reads "Single Volunteers of Twin Cities." Also for any new members that haven't participated in any
events, we are going to have another sign that reads "SVTC
New Members." Our welcoming committee will be in that general area to
greet you and introduce new members to other volunteers. We need some people to bring grills (there are only 2 of them out there) and we need some people to bring folding tables. If you have a volleyball set and ball that you can bring please let us know (at the e-mail address at the bottom of this message). Also, if you can bring the equipment to set it up (hammer/ladder/etc), that would be great. We have someone bringing one Bocce Ball set. We probably could use a couple more. We'll also be playing horseshoes. Any other ideas for
outdoor activities, please let Sherilyn know at the e-mail address below. Thanks to the social committee for planning this event! |
