KPCA Volunteer Appreciation Day
2024-04-20 10:00 - 12:00
Last December, at the Childrens’ Christmas Party; helpers from West Springfield High School assisted at the membership table (service hours). They didn’t live in Kings Park, and were amazed at the volunteer spirit in our community (the cupcakes didn’t hurt, either). They had never seen anything like it! And they were so right. To honor our special community volunteer spirit, we’re having our first, but not our last, Volunteer Appreciation Day celebration on Saturday, April 20 (rain date April 27).
In order to make the best use of our precious weekend time, we will be honoring the volunteers with a Brunch. It will be held in Kings Park Park, from 10am till noon. Food will be served by Provision Kitchen, the organization that did a wonderful job serving dinner at our National Night Out celebration last summer. There will also be coffee, water, and juice. All we ask is that you bring your own chair. Weather permitting, the snow cone machine may make an appearance, too.
After the volunteers have been fed, but before they doze off, we’ll have a low-key recognition ceremony. It’s scheduled to start at 11am and will celebrate the incredible community volunteer spirit that makes Kings Park so special.
Look for further announcements on our KPCA Facebook Page and look for a flyer that will be distributed closer to the celebration date.
