Nick served on the picnic committee this year to spur on the N&B (Newcomb & Boyd) crew to have a more fun cost-effective event. Like-minded, the rest of the individuals on the picnic committee pulled together a fun event. The N&B picnic committee chose Blackburn Park (a county park just outside of Atlanta) to host their green event. The table cloths were made from the brown paper wrapping that protects rolls of drafting paper. One associate had her Tech co-ops bring plates and silverware from their fraternity houses so there was not any paper product waste. She also made recycling bins for plastic bottles and soda cans. The food was all home-made: burgers (meat and non-meat, cooked on seperate grills), hotdogs, baked beans (veg-friendly), chips, and watermelon. Untouched food was brought to a homeless shelter.
The picnic was a total success. Nick and two of his coworkers grilled while kids played on the jump-around and had their faces painted. While everyone ate, the guests listened to The Newcombers, a band of N&B employees playing classic covers. If that was not enough, a few competative games of volleyball and kickball started up. Everyone had a smile on their face- the company really came together.
