We still need volunteers for Fridays. I got this from Cheriann Menges, the coordinator of the program. This will give you a better idea of what's involved.

On Friday mornings at 9 am--volunteers would assist the food educators with prepping food items. This may include getting food items from FUMC or setting up stations, opening cans, cutting vegetables, etc. We would set up an assembly line--kind of like stations for youth to put their meal together. Volunteers may need to assist kids with measuring ingredients or using small appliances. At 10 am and 11 am--the educators will do a quick demo of how to put the meal together. Kids will then line up and prepare their meal in a "make and take" style. Once the youth are done putting the meal together they are free to leave. Depending on space we will either set up in the front conference room or in the back garage area of city place. We'll be wrapping up around 11:45 am and hopefully cleaned up and gone by 12 pm. Our menu for each week is as follows:

6/24: Banana Berry Smoothies (using blenders and blender bikes-hosted by Allegany County Library System)
7/3: Veggie Flatbread with Crispy, Crunchy Eggplant Sticks (using airfryers-hosted by UMD Extension)
7/10: Baked Beans in a mug and Air Fryer Hot Dogs (Microwave and airfryers- hosted by ACLS)
7/17: Chicken Strip Salads (no appliances used-hosted by Evergreen Heritage Center)
7/24: Air Fryer Pizza and Cheese Quesadilla (Airfryers-hosted by ACLS)
7/31: Crunchy Veggie Wrap and Rainbow Fruit Salad (no appliances used- hosted by UMD Extension)
8/7: Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets and Zucchini Fries (Air fryers- hosted by ACLS)

Even though there was rain during the picnic, the Elks Officers shined at our Flag Day ceremony at the American Legion America's 250th Anniversary picnic!

Big thanks to Scout Troop 24, the Arion band, our Derby Queens, and the American Legion for hosting the event!

If you look closely, you can also see Lecturing Knight Todd J Logsdon and several other Elks attending the picnic.

The first of 5 scheduled trial runs is today @1:00 on Timber ridge St. (see below).
We need help with traffic and moving hay bales at the bottom of the hill between runs. It's a busy area and each car has to do two runs. That means a few bales have to be moved and replaced after each run, to get the car and the truck that picks them up past the row of bales and reset for the next run.
There are more than 50 cars registered so far and we need to average 10 to 12 cars (X 2)
every trial run date.
The Derby is by far our biggest event of the year and the money we raise keeps Us going! Please pick a date and lend a hand.
