Parish Picnic 2024

2024 Picnic Preparations

Have you ever wondered how the annual Parish Picnic comes together?  Actually, the preparations for our picnic are handled by a large group of wonderful volunteers!  These volunteers make up the Picnic Committee; each volunteer on the committee is the Chairperson of his or her particular aspect of the picnic.  And these Chairpersons are assisted and coordinated by the Overall Picnic Chairperson.

Below is a list of the various areas of the annual Parish Picnic and whether or not that area is covered by a Chairperson:

The Picnic Committee is a well-oiled group, but as you can see, there are still areas of the picnic which need a Lead/Chairperson.  If you have an interest in being one of these Chairpersons, or if you have questions about what it entails, just contact Kyle Strebel (opsmgr@ stclareagw.org) or Elaina Koltz (office@stclareagw.org) in the Parish Office.

Can I be a co-chair with someone else?  Definitely!

Is there support if I’m interested? Yes! Just be in touch with Kyle or Elaina at the Parish Office.
