Need fun ideas for a volunteer event

We are having a volunteer appreciation event at the end of Jan. Last year we did a formal dinner and had a program. They told us they don't want anything formal. They want to be able to sit around and talk with each other, something causual.

So, I need a fun factor. Either in terms of activity or unique menu ideas. I thought about food station, with one of them being a mashed potato bar - but the potatoes in glasses and top off items.

We have a cool lobby area with a fireplace. I thought about after dinner, we could have the fire going and people could have dessert out there. Maybe a coffee bar or hot chocolate station (marshmellows, whip cream, and peppermint squares)

  • I'm drooling at the thought of a mashed potato bar. 

    For the volunteer appreciation event I get invited to every year, they just give us pizza.  Works for me.  :)

    We have a chef at our place that our volunteers love. The food must be made by Richard. Stick out tongue

  • What about a casual wine and cheese pairing event, or something like that?  Maybe with desserts too?  I like the idea of utilizing your common area.  It's so nice.
  • Bowling!

    Or does it have to be at your work? If so, I like Kasa's idea.

  • S'mores at the fire?  I'll be Richard could come up with some fancy s'more ideas.

    The potato bar sounds like a good idea.

    Would the volunteers be into a game night concept?

    Smores is a cute idea.
