Volker Picnic

Sunday, Sept 22nd

BBQ, Community, Music and Potluck

Roanoke Park South Meadow

​

Our Volker picnic date is Sunday, September 22nd beginning at 5pm. Backup weather date is the following Sunday.

 

As in years past, the VNA will supply hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, ice cream, picnic tables, and large jugs of filtered water to refill your cups. We invite you to bring a potluck item to share as well, but respect that not everyone may feel comfortable with community food sharing options. If bringing your own personal meal is more your style, just do that instead. 

 

We will have paper plates, cups and utensils available, but we encourage you to bring your own plate-ware, cups, and utensils. And if bringing a dish to share, please bring a serving utensil. Don't forget a picnic blanket and/or lawn chairs too!

​

We can always use help setting up and breaking down tables, cleaning up, etc. Please email volunteer@volkerna.org if you are willing to help out!
