We’re all looking forward to the first annual member “Picknic” this Saturday at Andulka Park – the beautiful new park at the intersection of Chicago and Central Avenues in the Canyon Crest area of Riverside!

The Picknic is going to run from 11am to 2pm and give us plenty of time to celebrate the winding down of summer and the closing of another GREAT year working with other picksters to help create a culture of opportunity and engagement in our city!   The event is completely family friendly, so we’re all looking forward to seeing the kiddo’s of our members (the next generation of picksters) in action on the playground and in a few organized games!

In addition to creating some relaxing space to enjoy together, the Annual Picknic allows us a short period of time to hear from both our in coming and out going Presidents, a chance to acknowledge and celebrate our new members, and an opportunity to vote for our new board!

“Don’t Be Bored in Riverside”

In August, The Pick Group is launching its second class of the Board Development Training Program!

The academy will serve to train and develop young professionals – US - to be able to serve effectively and actively on non-profit boards for the betterment of Riverside.

Why sit on your couch and be BORED, instead get Board Trained!

Here is what you get from 7 class sessions:

• The necessary skills, instruction, and education to enhance our awareness of the need for professional relationships with non-profits
• To educate on the roles and responsibilities for non-profit board participation
• To inspire us  to utilize their skills to address the community’s needs
• To raise up effective board members that serve as a model for the future leaders and betterment of Riverside.
