Our volunteer dinner last year was held on March 13 using a St. Patrick's Day Theme because we feel 'lucky' to have our volunteers. We used green derby's planted with green and white carnations for centerpieces. Planning ahead we planted shamrock bulbs in green spray painted peat pots as favors at each place setting. We had prints of different Irish Blessings rolled and tied with green ribbon by each plate. Our menu was corned beef and cabbage with potatoes, green salad, and grasshopper pie. For entertainment we had a local clogging group perform. Awards and recognitions were given. Two staff members then sang 'Oh, Danny Boy". To give away the centerpieces we had some silly questions and trivia questions that we asked...such as who: 1. has 13 pennies in their pocket 2. has visited Ireland 3. has an Irish Setter at home 4. knows the legend of St. Patrick 5. showered with Irish Spring today etc, etc. I closed with the Irish Blessing: May the road rise up to meet y! ou... It was another successful program suggested by the words of praise and thank you notes we received.
