On August 30, 2026, AYLUS Oakland Gardens held its 254th event from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, partnering with Assemblywoman Nily Rozic and Queen’s Common Point for a Family Fun Day. Volunteers arrived at Cunningham Park in Queens, NY, where we began by helping Allen, a staff member for Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, prepare the event area. Working together during the setup allowed us to practice teamwork, communication, organization, and responsibility while making sure the event area was prepared before families arrived.
We began the morning by working with Allen, a staff member for Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, to prepare the event area. Our volunteer helped set up tents, chairs, tables, and other equipment. We also brought bags of ice and prepared buckets and coolers to keep refreshments cold throughout the event. Volunteers also helped set up the raffle, which included Mets merchandise and tickets to various New York City family attractions, including the Queens Botanical Garden.
After the setup was completed, Allen assigned our volunteers to different designated stations throughout the event. Volunteers helped manage th eline for the ice cream truck, distributed free water to attendees, and assisted families and guests as needed.Our volunteers worked together to keep the event organized and ensure that everyone could enjoy the activities safely and smoothly.
As the event continued, additional community partners and vendors arrived to set up their booths and activities. AYLUS volunteers assisted organizations such as South Bayside EMS, MetroPlusHealth, and the New York City Department of Sanitation, and Fire Department of New York with their setups and helped direct attendees to different stations. Furthermore, families were able to enjoy a variety of activities throughout the day, including free face painting, free balloon twisting, a bounce house, music from a DJ, and other interactive activities. As the event came to a close, Allen and the vendors helped draw the raffle winners. Families eagerly waited to see if they had won one of the many prizes, including Mets merchandise and tickets to local family attractions. All the winners were able to take a picture with Assemblywoman Nily Rozic.
We would like to sincerely thank Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, Allen, Queens Community House, and all of the community partners and volunteers who helped make this Family Fun Day possible. We are grateful to serve our community and support an event that brought so many families together.
