Employee Picnic - Volunteers Needed!

By Karen Walls, May 14, 2024

As we gear up for our much-anticipated annual employee picnic, we have a special request that comes straight from the heart. Our dedicated dining/catering staff, who have tirelessly ensured that our campus events are well-catered and enjoyable, deserve a chance to partake in the fun too!

This year, we’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to step in and serve food for a short period during the picnic. This gesture will allow our dining/catering staff to take a well-deserved break and enjoy the picnic alongside everyone else.

Why Volunteer?

  • Give Back: Our dining/catering staff are the unsung heroes of our events. It’s time we show our gratitude!
  • Foster Community: Volunteering is a fantastic way to strengthen our campus culture and community spirit.
  • Have Fun: Experience the picnic from a different perspective and have fun interacting with colleagues in a new way.
     

What’s Involved?

  • Short Shifts: We’re organizing four 45-minute shifts so that everyone has plenty of time to enjoy the picnic. Shifts will overlap by 15 minutes to ensure a smooth transition.
  • Simple Tasks: You’ll only be serving food —no cooking or preparation required.
  • All Are Welcome: We encourage everyone to participate whether you’ve been here 50 years or a recent hire, faculty, or staff.
