Volunteers Needed For Upcoming Salmon Bake, Now Called Laurelhurst Backyard BBQ

The 53rd annual Laurelhurst Backyard BBQ (formerly the Salmon Bake) is coming up on Thursday, September 6th from 5:30-8pm at the Laurelhurst Park.

The choices for dinner are: grilled chicken ($12), caramelized veggie burgers ($8), hot dogs ($8) and grilled wild salmon ($20 and limited availability). Served with every meal will be: potato salad, coleslaw, watermelon, lemonade and brownie.

Cara, with the Community Center, is looking for volunteers to help during set up time from 1-6pm, during the event, and clean up time from 7:30-9:30pm.

She told the Laurelhurst Blog:

The success of this event greatly relies on the many volunteers who graciously give their time and support.  Whether it’s all day or just a few hours, we can use your help.  This is a great opportunity for community groups and high school students needing to fulfill service learning hours,  We could not do this event without the help of our wonderful volunteers.  

All volunteers are invited to enjoy a free dinner as a thank you for your time and effort, but must be signed up in advance.  This is also a great opportunity for students to receive community service hours for high school.

Some of the tasks include:

·        Food service
·        Ticket sales
·        Clearing tables
·        Compost/garbage directing (telling people where to put things where)
·        Facilitating carnival games

All proceeds support community center programs, events and scholarship funds.
