Annual Picinic Picnic

Thursday, June 5, 2008
Latta Park (Dilworth)
6:00 PM til Dark

It is now official, the June picnic is now an annual event. Since Latta Park in Dilworth is relatively centrally located we will once again gather for fun and frolick at the shelter near the the playground. Although most of the migrants will have moved through there are still a lot of birds to see - red-headed woodpeckers, owls, and more. And of course there will be lots of food and fellowship.

Some one will be there by 6 PM but we won't chow down until around 6:30 PM. It's potluck so bring enough for 8-10 folks plus your eating/drinking utensils. The MAS board will supply the drinks and condiments.
Yes, we will have door prizes again and a swap table for those items that are still in good shape but you are no longer using it. These should be bird or nature related. Think of it as MAS's version of regifting. It's a great way to share books you have committed to memory.

Tickets are just $5 for one or $10 for three. So don’t miss your chance to own this beautiful original piece of art. The more tickets you buy, the greater your chance of winning.
