Food: Ice cream! We need help with refrigeration ideas and volunteers are needed to serve ice cream throughout the afternoon.
Community members: Please consider standing at the park entrance with WELCOME signs from 1-2pm to welcome the first two buses. Bring your own signs.
Volunteers are needed to help support the day with time and talent. Bring kites, balls, outdoor games, arts and crafts, face painting, musical instruments, etc. We also need volunteers to arrive at 12 to help set up and stay until 6 to clean up.
