***Next PLANNING MEETING: Monday June 25th 7:30PM at the Silver Grill, 4005 West Parmer Lane***
1. Flyers – available now! Please come to pick
up some 4th of July flyers at 4103 Dauphine Dr. to distribute on your
street…. It is a very small thing you can do that has a huge collective
impact. Even flyering one small street is of great help. Grab a batch for
your evening stroll around the block. We are out flyering right now, come
pitch in! PLEASE COME GRAB A BUNDLE!!
2. Call for equipment! We need coolers, shade tents, and tables! Please
drop them off at the park before the parade and label your items with your
name and phone number just in case. This year we especially need extra
coolers as we’re holding the smoked brisket and chicken in some of ours. If
you want us to pick up anything from your house, please email us.
3. Volunteers are critical to helping this event run smoothly. Help set up
before the event, break down after, serve food, distribute drinks…there are
so many opportunities! Want to bake cookies or offer up another dessert
for your neighbors? We’d love that too! Contact us to volunteer.
Here’s a list of “point people” that would help take a LOT off our minds/
hands: Please speak up if you will pitch in…
**”handler” for the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble (make sure the band has water, etc.
and walk around with the “Tips for the Band” bucket at intervals during the
picnic)
**equipment wrangler (coordinate picking up of volunteered tables,
shades, coolers from neighbors; pick up and return chairs for the band)
**toter and fetcher (pick up any morning donations for the picnic, etc.)
**membership table for a 30-min shift (Contact Us)
