SLAGA Summer Picnic 2016

This year, the SLAGA Summer Picnic will be at Arnold City Park, Jeffco Blvd. at Bradley Beach Road.

When:  Saturday, July 16, 2016, 11am - 3:30pm
Where: Arnold City Park
          
See GC6K27Z for more information and to post your "Will Attend" log.

This is a potluck event, so bring your own meat, your favorite side dishes, desserts and drinks to share with you fellow cachers. SLAGA provides the charcoal, paper plates and napkins, plastic utensils as well as normal picnic items. If you feel something else is needed, please feel free to bring it along to share. 

This is also a true meet and greet, so there are no awards or planned activities, unless someone would like to volunteer to take on a game, a silent auction or a travel bug table.
