Pot Luck Lunch served at last year’s picnic

This will be a potluck lunch and members are encouraged to bring a dish. I have created a sign-up sheet. You can view it here.  Please edit this sheet to indicate whether you will attend, how many family members including yourself will attend, and what you will bring.

Rumor has it a fox may be on the loose in the park that day.
