Sun Fun Picnic - July 21, 2023

We will be helping with the Sun Fun Picnic on July 21st.  We are looking for someone to run the picnic on that date along with volunteers to help cook the hot dogs, cook the beans, set-up, serve the food, and clean-up afterwards.  This picnic is held at Antelope Park's Auld Pavilion.  If you are interested in running the picnic on July 21, please contact Dennis Duckworth, who will be out of town that day, but has all the information you will need.  A sign-up sheet will be forthcoming to sign up in the other areas.  Thank you for doing what Rotarians do -- "SERVE ABOVE SELF."
