Show your appreciation to volunteers

Posted

With a lot of help from a lot of people and organizations, Point Roberts made it through Covid-19. On Saturday, June 25, gather to celebrate the heroes, some of them anonymous and most of them unsung, to say thank you and to finally break from the clutch of Covid.

Come to the Benson Road firehall on Saturday, June 25 from noon to 3 p.m. Bring a potluck dish and a camp chair, grab a free burger or hot dog, play some games, listen to some great music and tell someone thank you!

There will be fun activities for the kids: giant bubbles, corn hole, games with the volunteer firefighters, giant Janga, and tattoos as well as for the whole family: cake walks and thank you messages. There will be music of all sorts and storytelling. There will be an open mic where you will have the opportunity to tell a story from Covid-19 about someone who cared, someone who helped, an organization that made a difference, or just simply say thank you.

Music will be provided by a dozen talented musicians, nine of them assembled in a new cover band, “The Point” – Shaune Ann Feuz, Savilla Kress, and Krispian Emert on vocals, Joseph Siegel on keyboard, Casey Carmody on drums, Jeff Butts on conga, Derrick Luder on guitar, and Jess Pennoyer providing sound. Additionally, the Craig Jacks and the Jackalopes will be making an appearance.

The Circle of Care bus will shuttle attendees from the community center parking lot to the event throughout the afternoon.If you’d like to participate in the community potluck, please email prvolunteerday@gmail.com.

If you’d like to donate a cake for the cake walk, please bring one on a dish that you don’t mind giving away.

And most importantly, bring your happy, grateful heart and your friends and family. Let’s celebrate together!

For questions or if you’d like to volunteer either before or after the event, email prvolunteerday@gmail.com.
