[BWNA] BWNA Picnic update: Please read

[Albert Kaufman]

Hello Beaumont Wilshirian!  Here is a note that I just sent out to our Board
tonight about the upcoming neighborhood picnic.  If there is a part you
would be willing to play, please let me know ASAP.  As you can see below, we
have a few holes to fill ­ we could use some coolers, some grills, someone
to host a veggie cutting party the night before the big event ­ or at the
picnic itself... And a few pickup trucks to move tables and chairs from the
1st United Methodist Church to Wilshire park on 8/1 at 5pm, would be
especially helpful.

Thank you for your help, and I look forward to seeing you in the Park on
August 1st!

Albert Kaufman
President
Beaumont Wilshire Neighborhood Association

Subject: Picnic update: Please read

Hello everyone, thanks for a great meeting the other night and for all of
your volunteering spirit.  There are still a few roles to fill, and I¹m
hoping that through reading this e-mail you¹ll get a picture of who¹s doing
what and what still needs doing.

By the way, I¹m writing to you from Foxfire Teas.  They¹ve taken to having
live music on certain nights.  Tonight there is this incredible gypsy jazz
band accompanying me... I live a nice life.  A sip of tea and ... Here we
go!

Beaumont Wilshire Neighborhood Association Picnic, August 1st 6:30-8:30.

Roles

The Board voted for expenditures up to $600 for the picnic.  Board members
will purchase the items below and then approach Jim Karlock for
reimbursement.

BWNA Banner: Heidi, do you know where this is?  Can it be brought to the
picnic?

Signboard: Roger is working to have the picnic announced on the Beaumont
Wilshire school signboard

Music: David de la Rocha and friends will perform.  I may perform (Albert)
if need be

Camp Counselors from Camp Lutherwood will be on hand to lead the children in
outdoor games

Face Painting: we agreed to pay someone $30 to do face-painting for a couple
of hours.

Food: Jim is buying the buns;
we¹re counting on people from the n¹hood to bring salads and deserts;
Roger is buying the Pop and Water to be delivered to the church (Bethany)
before the event; 
Dennis is picking up meat and garden burgers;
David Whitaker: Veggies for burgers ­ onions, lettuce, tomatoes - we still
need someone to host a chopping party on the night before the event ­
takers? 
David Whitaker is contacting Odwalla about having them donate juice or
bars... 

Grills: Dennis and Ankist both offered to bring their grills.  We could use
1-2 more.  

Prizes/Raffle: David Whitaker is taking care of this, Albert to prepare a
sign-in sheet

Garbage: Albert has a call in to the folks who do this every year

Contacting electeds to invite them: Albert

Coolers: a couple were offered, but we could use more ­ best to have them
arrive on site by 5:30pm on the night of the event, perhaps with some ice
within 

Supplies: paper plates/utensils ­ someone offered to purchase these, but I
don¹t have it written down.  Can you write to me directly, if you were the
person who volunteered for this task?  Thanks.

Tables/Chairs: Ankist has volunteered to be at the 1st United Methodist
Church by 5pm on 8/1 to coordinate the moving of the tables and chairs.  All
hands/pick-up trucks will be welcome.  I will also put out a notice to our
BWNA list to ask for help.  If you are available at that time, even just to
help move things, please show up at the church or park to help.

Again, thanks to everyone for stepping forward on Monday night.  I¹m looking
forward to another great neighborhood picnic.  I will be at the 1st United
Methodist Church to help Ankist and friends move tables and chairs from 5 on
on 8/1 and I really would like to see people step up to the plate in and
fill in the other roles that have yet to be taken ­ if each of us takes a
piece of this, it should be very easy and fun.  And, I hope you¹ll all stick
around till it¹s over to help with clean-up.

Thanks, everyone.

Albert

PS ­ if I forgot someone or something, can you just write me directly, and
I¹ll send this out with corrections at the beginning of next week.
