ANNUAL PICNIC AND SWAP MEET
Last year's 100-degree-plus August picnic prompted us to move our annual picnic/swap meet to May from August. We will be meeting in the Pavilion at Veterans Memorial Park in Richfield around 6 PM. The Chapter will provide burgers and brats, buns, chips and water, as well as plates and silverware. If you have a side dish or dessert you wish to share, bring it, but you are not obligated to bring any food.
The swap is open to anyone. Let your friends know. You do not have to be a Twin Cities Chapter member to attend. We have reserved all three bays of the pavilion, so there is lots of room.
The park is conveniently located just two blocks south of the Portland Avenue exit off Crosstown 62. Parking is free.
