Ocotillo Glen Neighborhood Association

First Annual Ocotillo Glen neighborhood Block Party

What an awesome day! From Mary Obrochta, Chairwoman

Hi Everyone!
What an awesome day on Saturday. For those of you who didn't make it, we missed you but you've no idea what you missed!

A recap

I'd like to do a recap of the day and get your thoughts on what worked and where we can do better next time.

What worked & what didn't

What worked:

Lori's organizational skills:-)
Planning far enough in advance
The collaboration amongst the volunteers
Police involvement (canine, horses, THEM!)
The Explorers
Fire involvement - the truck and the shower and THEM
Clowns - face painting and baloons
Neighborhood Services - Roberto, Albert (recycle information)
Jumpies were a big hit
Food - hot dogs, nachos, snow cones, cotton candy and drinks
Jerry's map of the neighborhood was way cool
Lori's sign, "What will I do to improve my neighborhood"

Where can we improve:
Volunteer scheduling - We may want to talk about scheduling volunteers for 1 hour shifts during the event. Have scheduled volunteer set-up and clean-up lists.
More pop-ups for shade
Better sound equipment
