Thank You for a Great Annual Picnic!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Annual Picnic on Saturday, August 15th. The rain held off and we were able to enjoy a nice time together.
From good food to lively conversation, corn hole, bingo, music, and the mini‑Biergarten, the entire event was filled with Gemütlichkeit. It was wonderful seeing members old and new, families, and friends relaxing, laughing, and making memories.
We were please to use this event as an opportunity to reinstitute the Club’s past practice of formally initiating new members. New (or relatively new) members initiated yesterday were Tony & Margaret Altvater, Bret Bingham, Dave & Emily Hudgens, and Brittany MacDonald.
Your participation and support in events like this are what make gatherings like this so special. Whether you brought a dish to share, helped with setup, pitched in during cleanup, or simply came to enjoy some time together, we appreciate every one of you.
Thank you again for helping make this year’s picnic a success. We look forward to many more events together.
