Heritage Camp 2012-Picnic Coordinator Needed

Do you love picnics? Are you a natural organizer? Do you know someone who would love to grill hot dogs?  Then, boy, do I have a volunteer opportunity for you!!

Picnic Coordinator

Heritage Camp 2012 needs a Picnic Coordinator.  The park has been reserved for Wednesday, June 20, 2012, so that part of the job can be marked off the list. 

These are the responsibilities of a Picnic Coordinator:

1.     Reserve the Grand Rapids Township Park.  This can be done after March 1 and requires a $100 cleaning deposit and an $85 park fee.  Both fees will be reimbursed by the FFIC Treasurer.

2.     Purchase hot dogs, veggie dogs, buns, condiments, plates, etc,.  There are records of past picnic purchases, so there is a base from which to work.  A tax-exempt number will be provided.

3.     Find volunteers willing to start the grills and/or grill the hot dogs. 

4.     Find volunteers to assist in setting up; putting out plates, napkins, condiments, etc.

5.     Find volunteer to assist in cleaning up at the end of the event.  We are pretty good about cleaning up after ourselves, but the Picnic Coordinator needs to make a last “sweep” through the area to make sure everything is in a trash barrel.

In the past, there have been Picnic Co-Coordinators, which makes the task more enjoyable.  This is an easy way to get involved with Heritage Camp with a “one day” commitment. J

If this sounds like a volunteer opportunity that you, and perhaps a friend, would enjoy, please contact Cathy Wood. My contact information is on the FFIC website, under Heritage Camp.

Thanks!

Kitchen Coordinator Job Description

We still need a Kitchen Co-coordinator for Heritage Camp 2012.  I've developed a brief "Job Description" which might help someone out there who is on the fence jump down and take the job!  :-)

Kitchen Coordinator

Responsibilities:

1.      Order, in advance, food needed for lunches during Heritage Camp.  This would include bulgogi meat purchased from Lee’s Market, and food ordered from Gordon Food Service.  These orders are generally placed in May after Heritage Camp registration has closed and “settled”.

2.      After Adult Volunteers have been placed, usually in early May, create a schedule and e-mail the schedule to the Kitchen Volunteers.  Most Kitchen Volunteers have served in this position for several years, and most volunteer to work all day, every day, Tuesday through Friday.

3.      On Monday, set up day, pick up and return to Camp site, all food that had been previously ordered.  This is the day the kitchen is “organized”, and there are usually a few volunteers to assist the Kitchen Coordinator.

4.      The menu is very consistent from year to year, and recipes have already been developed. In 2012, we will combine China Day and Korea Day to open a space for a lunch that includes our new “Global Camp”.  This menu will also be simple, kid-friendly, and easy to prepare.

5.      Assist in the kitchen preparing lunches, cookies, cleaning up after lunch, etc.

Desperately Seeking Kitchen Co-Coordinator

Heritage Camp 2012 is in need of a Kitchen Co-coordinator.  If you have ever dreamed of working in a kitchen with volunteers, preparing ethnic cuisine to serve to the cutest bunch of kids in the world, then this may be for you :-)

Our trusted cook, Dee, is returning this year, which will make the Kitchen Coordinators job much easier.  However, I need someone willing to take on the daily tasks of running a "school lunch kitchen" for five days.  There are always plenty of volunteers willing to chop fruits and veggies, wash tables, wash dishes, serve lunches, and generally do whatever is asked of them during the week.  What I need is someone willing to tell others what to do and when to do it, be responsible for ordering food and picking up that food, and help in the kitchen.

If you think you would be interested, please let me know as soon as possible.  I have a volunteer who is available during Camp week, but not every day.

Thanks,
Cathy
