Pack a blanket that doesn’t take up a lot of room and is easy to wash that you can either use as a table cloth or something to sit on 2.
Pack plenty of napkins, paper towels or even wet wipes to clean yourself and your area 3

Pack a speaker and an activity! Set the mood and jam out to some music with good company, food, and games!
Don’t forget a trash bag Not all picnic areas have trash cans so be polite and clean up after yourself 5
Pack the food! The best part of a picnic is the food, pack some wraps or sandwich’s, throw in some chips, and load up the fruit for the perfect picnic meal! See recipe for a refreshing picnic snack! 6

Their actions exemplify corporate social responsibility and the power of unity in strengthening community bonds.The "Canned Castle," meticulously built by the team at Sierra Air Conditioning & Plumbing, stands as a testament to what can be achieved when compassion and creativity come together
Day At The Derby featured silent auctions, a live DJ, culinary delights, and amazing cocktails, creating a joyous atmosphere . Awards were given to community partners to show our appreciation for their dedication to changing the lives of our seniors. Our community partners were essential to the event's success, making a meaningful difference and creating lasting memories.
CELEBRATING OUR PLANET EARTH DAY
The theme for this year's Earth Day is "Invest in Our Planet." This challenges individuals, businesses, and governments to prioritize the planet in every decision they make. It's a call to action for sustainable practices that not only protect but also restore our environment. From reducing our carbon footprint and embracing renewable energy sources to supporting ecofriendly businesses and advocating for policies that protect natural habitats, there are countless ways we can contribute to the well-being of our planet.
As you step into the office on Earth Day consider changing up your routine a little to help make the world a better place. Bring a reusable water bottle to reduce plastic waste. 1. Make a meatless lunch. 2. Print double sided, or not at all to eliminate paper waste. 3. Have a ‘lights off’ hour to help save energy. 4.
Work with our team and clean up an area of your office whether it’s inside or outside. 5.
Make eco-friendly snacks for everyone to enjoy! 6.
