Help us make this year's party even nicer!

Celebrated cook, food writer, and editor Ruth Reichl said, “Ask people to pitch in – hand them a spoon and ask them to stir. Doing things together, having everyone help, makes for a nicer party.” She’s right: the more people get involved, the better the party. During this season of gatherings, we’re asking you to get involved with Cheverly Day 2016. On May 21, we’re celebrating the 85th anniversary of our community, and we need you!

Are you a member of a community group? A marching band? A theatrical troupe? Join in our parade – we want your floats, your marchers, your musicians…let’s make this year’s parade the best yet. The parade application will be available on our website after the first of the year. We’re also looking for corporate sponsors, community donations, and advertisers – all make a huge difference in defraying the costs of bringing this major community event to life every year. Visit our website to learn how you can lend your financial support…and thanks!

Finally, we always need volunteers to plan and carry out this big event. Have ideas for new activities? Want to help us with community groups, musicians, food, publicity, or any other aspect? We want you! Join the Cheverly Day Committee – we meet monthly and we’re always looking for fresh ideas.

Join the Cheverly Day party and lend a hand – we’re looking forward to sharing this great celebration with the entire community. Email cheverlyday@gmail.com to get involved, and visit our website www.cheverlyday.org for links to our Facebook, blog and Twitter, and all the latest news on all things Cheverly Day 2016!
