Volunteer Picnic Weather Cooperated!

Saturday Store To Door had its annual volunteer appreciation event at Como Park!
Mother nature was very accomodating providing us with 77 degree weather, no rain and a little bit of wind, just as www.weather.com predicted!
At the picnic we accomplished many important things including:
  • Consuming 350 pieces of chicken
  • Eating 11 melons
  • Handing out 30 raffle prizes (including prizes donated from BW3's, Dunn Bros, Bachman's, SUPERVALU, Kemps, Schwann's, and the MN Twins
  • Drinking 15 gallons of lemonade
  • Blowing up 75 balloons
And most importantly: Thanking 86 volunteers and 55 family/friends for their support of Store To Door!

Other Highlights:
  • We thanked our major sponsors Cub Foods and Xcel Energy for their generosity
  • Helpers at the event included (thank you!) Store To Door staff, Peg Bossert (photography), Kitty (Music and PA), and the SVTC volunteer group
  • Chuck Zimmerman our board president, and Mary Jo Schifsky, our Executive Director thanked volunteers
Can't wait until next year!
