FALL KICK-OFF GARDEN PARTY – The Fall Kick-Off Garden Party kicks off our new year! Ideally you should be in town/available in August to get preparations made to plan this event. It is generally held at a member’s home (in the afternoon) and you would be coordinating Evite invitation, set up, food, etc. It’s a small committee of 2-3 people and a great one for individuals who would like to fulfill their volunteer responsibilities in the early part of the year. Planning should begin in June/July to secure a host home.
