I thought this was a great picnic! Nicole poured lots of energy, time, and love into the event. It worked really well. Thank you.
For everyone else who helped. Thank you.
For next year. What worked and what did not work? This is NOT intended as a criticism just what can we do to have it be better?
I will compile this into a document to help with the next picnic. Then find a home for it out on the PR folder?
(We are not creating much “corporate memory”. I would like to see more documents like this created.)
My short list.
- Folding tables for food servicing. The picnic tables were ackward for serving food.
- Less food. This is a tough one to measure.
- Better way to manage / keep the auction items organized and stable on the table because of wind issues. Maybe large envelopes?
- Make sure people leave with their auction items.
- Encourage EARLY ticket purchases. Maybe an exclusive raffle item(something enviable) or picnic credits.
In advance, thanks for the input.
