Postponing the Down East picnic...need more help...

Hello Down East,

Having a hard time getting my act in gear and looking at a busy schedule 8/13 isn't looking good.  So, rather than have it all blow up at the last minute I thought I would see if I can get some more help from folks.

So, let me ask.  Is there anybody out there who would be interested in helping to organize the event?  We will move the picnic to a better weekend based on your availability.  Also, thinking of simplifying things a bit however we can.

At this rate, maybe it will be a Fall Fest!  LOL

Down East Picnic: August 13th is the date!

Thank you to all who responded to the survey!


Anybody want to volunteer to organize it?  I'll be supporting you, but, I'm not the best guy to remember to do things in a timely manner ;-)  I received some interest via email so I'll reach out there too.


Again, here is that overview again...
  • each family brings
    • a covered dish
    • your own drinks
  • volunteers for
    • music ( maybe an ipod and a boom box nothing too fancy is necessary )
    • cooking burgers and hotdogs ( usually we rent a grill and buy the burgers and hot dogs )
    • coordinating the delivery of a porta-poty
    • bringing a big drink cooler filled with water, lemonade etc
  • I will coordinate with East Whiteland to have the gate opened to our park, etc.
  • Other ideas are welcome.  Maybe your kids would like to perform a song?  How about face painting?
I'm not so concerned about it being a fancy shin dig.  I'm just looking to meet new neighbors and say hello to those I haven't seen in a while.

DECA Summer Picnic...are you in?


Hello Down East residents,

Hope all is well.  Summer is in full swing.  I'm sure some of you have been down the shore already or perhaps you have something planned.  We have been pretty busy with the Summer concert series at Valley Creek Park, Jordan's high school graduation, Kayla's Summer job and Kevin's Tour de Shore bike ride.  I feel like I have some time to do something outside the family.

I was recently speaking with a fellow Down East neighbor and he asked, "Are we going to have a Summer picnic?"  Well folks, I'm in if you are in!  This is a community driven event where we all pitch in.
  • each family brings
    • a covered dish
    • your own drinks
  • volunteers for
    • music ( maybe an ipod and a boom box nothing too fancy is necessary )
    • cooking burgers and hotdogs
    • coordinating the delivery of a porta-poty
    • bringing a big drink cooler filled with water, lemonade etc
  • I will coordinate with East Whiteland to have the gate opened to our park, etc.
  • Other ideas are welcome.  Maybe your kids would like to perform a song?  How about face painting?
Based upon the feedback I get in the next week or so, I'll be able to tell if we have enough interest.  If you want to have a DECA Summer Picnic email me.
