Areas for Volunteers
Have committees with volunteers heading up each area.They can solicit the help they need from fellow neighbors or their families.
Suggested committee descriptions:
• Set-up-Should arrive ihour prior to picnic start(4:30 pm). Volunteers will help unload the City Trailer, set up eating
area, cover tables, set up game area, put out garbage/recycling bins,and set up check-in table.
• Greeters-Welcome neighbors as they come. Oversee nametags, sign-in sheet and handing out plates. Neighborhood
Program staff will collect the sign-in sheet at the end of the picnic. (We will email you a copy as well.) Should plan to
arrive at 5:00 pm.
• Food table -Will direct if necessary,where to put main dish, side dish and desserts. Help serve if necessary. Lend a hand
to anyone who needs assistance. Help with on-going clean up. Should plan to arrive at 5:00 pm.
• Games- Have someone in charge of the games. There are two different kinds of games...those that need someone to
direct and those that are self directed. It is a good idea to have a mix of both. Prizes are always a great motivator for
participation. Games can take place about half-way through the picnic.
• Prizes/Raffles-If you decide to give prizes or hold a raffle drawing, have someone in charge and keep it simple.
Ribbons can be made, and candy can go a long way. "White elephant" prizes can be fun if you know your group well
enough...they can pick their own. Partner with local businesses and ask for a donation of some kind for your raffle(this
also helps promote their business).
• Master of Ceremony- Keeps things flowing. If there are announcements, or speakers they take the lead in presenting
them.They will need an agenda... from the opening welcome to the thank-you for coming.
• Safety-A first-aid kit is available in the picnic trailer.
• Clean up-The job isn't over until the place looks like it did before the event. Don't be the last one there doing this on
your own. If you can...ask each of your committee chairs to stay.
• Lost&Found - Know what you are going to do with left over items such as spoons, bowls, and jackets. Are you are
going to keep them for a week and then donate them...let people know how to get a hold of you.
• Follow-up-Thank your volunteers, a simple hand written note is thoughtful. You could also put something in your
newsletter. If you have the means to thank everyone who came(using the sign in sheet) recap the event. An email with
pictures helps to keep the feeling of good-will going.

RENTON
Spotlight on Picnics
Throughout the summer residents plan and attend picnics, enjoying the City-hosted barbecue, their own favorite
side dishes, and games as one of the benefits of the Neighborhood Program. Neighborhood picnics may be held
at City parks, homeowner association common areas, church lots or on Renton school grounds. Each picnic
showcases the uniqueness and diverse make-up of its residents. Here are highlights from some of the 2013
neighborhood picnics:
The South Renton Connection was the first of many picnics to be held this summer. The scent of hot dogs
and home-made side dishes filled the air as residents gathered at Burnett Linear Park. Youth from Harambee's
Cry Out program entertained with music and dance moves and many kids enjoyed getting their faces painted.
Prior to the picnic, residents organized a neighborhood clean-up.
At It
•
Despite the cool, rainy weather, newly formed Snake Hill Neighborhood Association drew many families to
their "Kick-Off' picnic held at the Springbrook Church of Christ. Fortunately, the church opened their doors and
the picnic was moved inside! Neighbors shared food, became acquainted with one another, and enjoyed locating
their homes on a large map of their neighborhood.

Neighborhood leaders from Maplewood, Maplewood Glen and Pioneer Place planned and hosted their
annual combined picnic at Maplewood Park. Adults visited and chatted with City staff and kids enjoyed
participating in relay games. Neighbors donated 145 lbs. of pet food and canned goods for their Salvation Army
Renton Rotary Food Bank food drive during the evening.

VerCello neighborhood invited nearby residents of Aspenwoods and newly "recognized" Brookfield for an old
fashioned "block party." Everyone walked to the picnic bringing one food item per family member for
the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank for a total donation of 210 lbs. Visiting with neighbors, blowing
bubbles, and spraying the fire hose were highpoints of the picnic!

A big crowd of Maplewood Estates residents converged in their HOA park area for their annual picnic under
non-threatening, but shadowing clouds. Neighbors enjoyed visiting with each other and brought 137 lbs. of food
for the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank. Hot dogs were popular, as served by City staff, but the longer
line was for face painting!
The sound of music and a warm si, er evening provided the backdrop fot ; LaCrosse picnic. Many
families shared food and enjoyed hula hoop contests and a "Kids vs. Dads" Tug-of-War. In hopes of supporting
military families in the Renton area, the neighborhood procured donations and held a raffle raising $504.00 for
the Folds of Honor Foundation which "provides assistance to spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in
service to our country."
Tiffany Park Neighborhood buzzed with conversation and activity at their annual picnic held at Tiffany Park.
Along with tasting an array of side dishes, residents played games, decorated cupcakes, participated in a raffle
and, donated goods for a School Supply Drive.

North Renton residents brought an abundance of side dishes to share at their picnic in Jones Park. Flags were
waving around the check-in table to promote the display of American flags throughout the neighborhood. The
picnic committee procured items from a few local businesses for their raffle.
The Sunset Neighborhood Association partnered with Renton Housing Authority for their picnic held at
Highlands Neighborhood Center. Many residents of all ages enjoyed hot dogs, popsicles and several relay races!
Renton Housing Authority even provided transportation for several of their residents.
Under misty skies, Cascade Neighborhood Association hosted their picnic under the covered area at Cascade
Elementary School. Photographs of their recent neighborhood clean-up were displayed as well as future project
ideas, and a container for donations for the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank.

At the South Union Neighborhood Association picnic, families gathered at Heritage Park celebrating their
recent clean-up efforts at the park. One resident brought a little bit of Hawaii to the picnic as she strolled around
singing and strumming her ukulele!

Victoria Park, Victoria Hills, and Talbot Hill neighborhoods collaborated together for a picnic at Thomas
Teasdale Park. Music reverberated through the park as residents shared food and played games. They led a
Neighborhood Picnic Food Drive Challenge and collected over 600 pounds of goods for the Salvation Army Renton
Rotary Food bank! \
