The club will provide hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, the toppings, chips and pop to drink. If you would like to bring something other than hotdogs or hamburgers, we can find you some grill space too. We'll also have the plates, cups and plastic ware to go with it. Feel free to bring your own "drinks" but avoid glass containers because they can attract unwanted attention. Also feel free to bring along a dish to pass if you want too.
The whole family is welcome to come and so are club guests. So lets get people out there folks. Let us know if you are coming and if you are bringing others so we can get a tentative headcount for food.
We will also be holding the A prize raffle at the picnic. So come on out and see which club member will win what .
We also need some volunteers to offer up some pop up canopys. Any takers ?
