Summer Member's Picnic: Our annual member's picnic is to be held at 11:30 AM, on Saturday, July 12th at the High Bridge Park. Signs will point to the table we are using. The get-together will be catered, so we will need an accurate attendance count. Family members are welcome. Please RSVP the number of people in your party to pwhunt27@aol.com by Wednesday, July 9, 2025. If you have a particular dietary need, please let us know so we can plan accordingly. In lieu of a speaker, the two museum buildings at High Bridge Park will be open. We hope everyone can come!
