Get your game face on …
… and gear up to play hard for the second year of Voly in the Park on Saturday, June 6, from noon-4 p.m. at Klyde Warren Park at 2012 Woodall Rodgers Freeway. It’s a celebration of volunteerism organized by Volunteer Now (formerly Volunteer Center of North Texas). It will feature booths with games and interactive information for more than 75 Dallas-area nonprofits, including several based in and near our neighborhood — Kids-U, Vogel Alcove Childcare Center for the Homeless and Refugee Services of Texas, to name a few — plus music, entertainment and family-friendly fun. It’s free and open to everyone. While you are there, learn about volunteer activities available for you and your kids in Lake Highlands and nearby this summer.

Run in the sun …
… with the local nonprofit Dallas Running Club, which promotes fitness and donates annual scholarships to high school runners. Members enjoy a free race the first Saturday of each month. The Bloomin’ 4-Mile is June 6 at 7 a.m. at White Rock Lake’s Winfrey Point. Register online at dallasrunningclub.com or at Winfrey Point on race day between 6:30-7:30 a.m. Nonmember registration is $10. DRC races are put on by volunteers. Fill out the volunteer form, found on the website, if you are interested in helping out.
