*~BF.COM Channel 2 Volunteer Picnic~*

Post by *~Fishy-Face~* »

Dear loyal subjects: (and yes I will name you in a min.)
It is my pleasure to extend Monica's invitation for an appreciation picnic to my hardworking bridge cleanup volunteers who I CAN'T THANK ENOUGH.


An email from Monica:
Hi y’all!
I know there’s still a week left in March but over the weekend, please try to email me your hours for the month. I am off on Sunday & Monday this week so when I get in the office on Tuesday I’ll have your hours to report to Tallahassee. Last month when our new trail manager saw the volunteer hours (278) he wanted me to tell everyone that he really appreciates your efforts!

On that note, we would like to have our first volunteer appreciation picnic in April! Some of you will be leaving for the season soon. Hopefully we can pick a date that works for the majority of you. Let’s try for: Thurs April 23rd, Fri the 24th or Saturday the 25th. Let me know your first and second choices. After we get a date, we will pick the time.

Would Pennekamp be a hardship for anyone? I would rather do it at Long Key since we have several volunteers based there, but there isn’t a covered pavilion in case of rain… (maybe some of you Long Key folks can convince me otherwise)! Thanks!
Monica

So...Rob, Herbert (and family), Bolo & Karen, Rory, Ricky, Chris, Tommy, Gus, and anyone who has attended at least one cleanup for our cause, Please R.S.V.P w/ me on a vote or a specific date.

Once again, THANK YOU!

Update:

An email from Monica,

Hello everyone!
We decided that Friday April 24th works for the majority of our volunteers for our picnic (sorry to those of you that preferred the other days)! We will start around 1:00 and end around 4:00. We batted around a few state parks to hold the picnic at and decided on Curry Hammock State Park just north of Marathon because it is centrally located and has covered pavilions so at least the cook and our food can stay dry in case of rain!

We will feed you well! We have a member of our staff that does a phenomenal job on the barbeque – I will let you know the menu next week but I already had the privilege of being at a staff barbeque for which he cooked and it was great! Steve is excited to do this for y’all because he is one of our trail rangers and really appreciates the help that you provide along your favorite section of trail. You will get a chance to meet other members of our staff that day too including our new trail manager, Tony Knott. We look forward to making this an annual event!

Please RSVP if you can make it and as I get more details, I will update you! All my contact info is below or just reply to this email – thanks!
Monica


If you can make it, let me know so I can give her a number.

If you can't, don't worry! :cheers: Monica has disscussed a private party w/ me solely for BF volunteers. A date is still pending. Also, we may be having a private party w/in our own members. Again, date pending. Let me know what you guys think! and again, thanks!


P.S.: Rory and Rob, no Fishfinder trips for these dates OK!?!? :scold:

The vast majority of the other volunters are local retirees or local students. Our group is the only '' traveling '' group I believe. The concern was aquiring an open pavellion on a weekend big enough to accomadate everyone with the normal crowds down there .

Not so much catering as much as there is a few hundred of them vs the 14 - 18 of us that have attended a cleanup. She offered to give us a cleanup date down the road to show her apreciation for the drive our members make. I talked to her a bit before the last cleanup and she is very impressed by the lengths our members go to make the cleanup esp the drive for us non locals.
