There were also several who weren’t able to attend convention and get some of that special energy that occurs when we all get together. The Seattle chapter has a remedy for all of this. We think it is definitely time to get back to the annual picnic we all look forward to each summer.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Our picnic will be on August 20<sup>th</sup>, from 3:00-9:00 PM, taking the place of our regular chapter meeting. Noel Nightingale and Jim Peterson have once again graciously offered their home, which has a spacious yard perfect for this event! Their address and additional information about getting there by bus will be included at the end of this email.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We ask observance of the following requests and guidelines from our hosts.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The event will take place in the yard with access to a bathroom inside. Folks will party outside to help prevent the spread of COVID. Besides, if we are gathering for an outdoor picnic, there is really no other reason for going inside the house. There is no mask wearing rule, so act according to your comfort level.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Noel and Jim will have tables and chairs, but the only shade will be on the small porch and under any trees.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regarding food, the following will be provided.<o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Hamburgers, hotdogs, and vegetarian variations thereof<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>regular and diet soda<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Plenty of Ice!<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal>We will also provide disposable plates and plasticware.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chapter members are invited to bring side dishes and desserts, as long as they don’t need refrigeration and can sit outside in unshaded areas. You might not want to bring such items as salads containing mayonnaise or desserts with cream.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also provided will be a small keg, and reusable cups will be sold for $5.00 for folks to add any beverage they like in the cups. Such a deal!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Finally, Marci Carpenter will be selling our delicious chocolate covered cherries and chocolate covered espresso beans!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you are purchasing either reusable cups or chocolate items, make sure and bring whatever cash you think you’ll need. We are only accepting cash and not credit cards!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Finally, we’d appreciate an RSVP, by August 15<sup>th</sup>, if you think you are coming and if you will be bringing guests.

Baker light rail station, and then heads up the hill to where my house is. The last stop is after a noticeable SHARP TURN and is THE Hanford stop.
