Friends of Trees invites our fabulous volunteers to come and celebrate all their awesome energy and burly hard work at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Picnic.

Each year FoT rings in the fall with this free, fun-filled volunteer jubilee. Family-oriented, with tons of food and some great raffle prizes, this year’s picnic promises to be a smash success.

FoT will provide scrumptious Russell Street Bar-B-Que, drinks, games and tons of fun! All you need to do is show up at Colonel Summers Park at SE 17th Ave. and SE Taylor St. on Saturday, September 25, between 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. (Lunch will be served around noon!)

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
