Sunnyside United Neighbors, Inc.

SUNI Committees

SUNI Committees are where, as the old saying goes, the rubber meets the road. Committees are made up of volunteers who love helping the community and meeting some neighbors in the process! Committees are always looking for volunteers who have time and energy and ideas. The best place to get involved is to join a committee and try to make a difference.

Branding/Design Committee

Committee Chairperson: Victoria Robinson

Calling all creatives...What is a brand? A brand is more than a logo identity or an advertising campaign. Our brand should express the personality, purpose and aspirations of our association and community. The SUNI brand is expressed consistently through our new logo, font, color palette, imagery, messaging, products, services and even how we work together. It should be central to all we do. This brand is meant to inspire change and growth and demonstrate that there is vision and momentum to the community’s direction.

The Branding/Design Committee is a new committee that is looking for volunteers with creative talents of all shapes and forms. Currently we interact with all of the other SUNI committees to make sure that we have a consistent voice and message in everything we do. This is no small task. The future of this committee is limitless and we seek an open and collaborative group of creative Sunnyside neighbors to help!

Friends of Chaffee Park

Committee Chairperson: Stephen Wilson

The SUNI Parks Committee (Friends of Chaffee Park) is focused on improvement of our parks and public space through active community involvement. We organize activities in the park as well as volunteer days for physical improvements. Last year we worked with The Park People to obtain grants for the new playground in Chaffee Park. On Build Day we had over 200 volunteers and the community constructed the playground in a single day! Our group meets as needed and we use this website to post meeting times and locations. If you would like to become a Friend of Chaffee Park, please let us know!

Newsletter Committee

Committee Chairperson: Erin Rist

The Sunnyside Newsletter Committee is a small all-volunteer group. This group is a recent convergence with the goal to continue to improve the newsletter. This group doesn’t meet too often, but does communicate regularly via email. However, the newsletter itself does go to print once a quarter, and communications increase at that time. The committee is looking to make the newsletter more consistent, timely and are going to start to try including advertisers again! Our group would greatly benefit from anyone looking to help improve the newsletter. We are always looking for content and ideas. If you joined this committee, you can expect to have fun, learn a thing or two and improve the community!
