I am writing to recap the discussion we had about the picnic at last night’s meeting. The picnic, as I stated last night, is the chapter’s way of saying thank you to the JC drivers that have assisted so many of us with transportation to our meetings in the last year. We have confirmed that the picnic will take place on Saturday, June 10, 2017 from the hours of 3pm until 7pm. If you have not done so already, please contact Susan Roe to request a ride to or from the park. If you are independently travelling to the picnic, the address is 3600 Saunders Avenue, Richmond, VA 23227. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I began creating a list of items that our members are bringing to the picnic. If you have not done so already, please contact me via phone or email to let me know what item you are donating. I have listed the items already being provided below. I am personally requesting all members to bring an item so that food and beverage is plentiful. If you are a member that has taken a ride with a JC driver, it would be a testament of your gratitude for the ride(s) you have taken to assist in making this event enjoyable. The chapter will be providing Fried Chicken for the picnic, so the main necessities include side items, drinks, and desserts. If you are bringing a dish, please brings serving utensils.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>List of Confirmed Donated Items:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Pasta Salad<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Fried Chicken<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Deviled Eggs<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Macaroni and Cheese<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Water<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Plastic Ware<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shrimp Cocktail<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Baked Beans<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Swedish Meatballs<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you cannot make the picnic but would still like to donate something, please email me or call me and someone can pick the item up and transport it to the park.
