Caroling on a Flat Bed: Sign-Ups

As a neighborhood we are looking forward to Christmas caroling on Saturday December 8th (and of course there is a cookie exchange afterward at a house on Ramsgate at 7:00pm). The plan is to meet up on Croydon Way at 4:30pm that day and then get rolling by 5pm. We are going to have a flat bed truck (with rails) and hay so that we can sit or stand as we sing throughout the neighborhood. This is going to be a blast and definitely a memory building event for us. This event is for all ages and we would like to see residents take ownership of this event by participating and volunteering for the following opportunities listed below. The opportunities will be highlighted red once someone volunteers. Keep in mind too that there is funding available for both the truck and the hay, so no money needs to come out of your pocket.

The following opportunities exist for volunteering. You can let us know what you'd like to do by commenting below or by phone or email (see contact information below to the right). The items in blue are still needed:

- Find truck service (Janel)

- Reserve truck (Ryan)

- Pick up truck/return (money will be given to you to pay for the truck) (Rich)

- Sing and hang out on the truck (many residents: Holly, Scott Family, Ryan & Jenny and Kids, Mark & Sarah & Kids, Ann, Elaine & Clark, Naquita, Ruth, Candy, Elliot, Destiny......... who else???)

- Drive the truck (Rich)

- Provide 3 bails of hay (Windy)

- Pick out songs and make photocopies for the group (Photocopying: Ann, Holly)

- Decorate the truck with hay and make a few signs to hang on the truck (Ruth & Janel-maybe)

- Be the point person to make sure all of the above is going as planned (Ryan)

Lastly, here is a picture of the band U2 while performing a concert on a flat bed truck in New York City. This is proof that great things can happen while on a flatbed truck.... :) NOTE: Our flatbed will have railing for safety reasons.
