2017 Barbecue Committee and Volunteers

Hello Friends!

It’s time, once again, for us to begin planning our annual barbecue. Last year’s event was a huge success. We have a lot of good experience to build off of but I think we have a lot more that can be done. Like last year, we will be forming a committee to plan the event consisting of the board (myself, Bruce, Bruce Jr. Ed and Megan) and any additional volunteers who wish to be more involved with the logistical planning of the barbecue.

We will discuss everything from cost saving measures, serving line and kitchen logistics, volunteers and volunteer recruitment, food preparation, event marketing and event promotion.

We plan on have 1-2 meetings, preferably one the first week of April and another in May around the time of the annual meeting. Last year, the committee’s involvement was instrumental to the success of the event. Help us make this year even better!

Also, you may have noticed last year that we were very short on event volunteers. The wait for food was nearly 30 minutes at one point all because we simply didn’t have enough hands. If you plan on coming to the event and have a little extra time please volunteer! We will have 1.5 hour shifts so please consider helping if you can! As the event nears I will be sending out more information about exactly which volunteer positions need filling and descriptions of each position so you know exactly what you’re getting y

As always, please feel free to contact me via email (macedonia_cemetery@hotmail.com) if you’d like more information regarding serving on the committee, volunteering at the barbecue or just to say “hi!”

I can’t wait to see all of you in the coming months!

President, Macedonia Cemetery Association
