Since it went over so well last year, we will again provide sandwich fixing for lunch on Saturday. Several types of lunch meat will be available for you to build a "Dagwood" sandwich if you like, compliments of the net.

AGAIN THIS YEAR
STAR PARTY

Gaze at the stars through a telescope brought by Eric W9GVW.  Eric gives star gazing outings to groups and has offered to bring his equipment to the picnic for us. He will set up at the Lodge building Saturday evening.  This lot of fun, so bring your warm jacket and lawn chair or blanket to sit on and join the fun. 

Eric would like to invite any others with telescopes to come and join the fun.  Eric will also be bringing his drone to fly over the building and what ever is coming up in the fields around the building.
