FOE 871 Picnic 9/30/2023

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
Our Annual Picnic is this Saturday, September 30, from 12:00-5:00 at Fort Hunt Park, Pavilion B, off the George Washington Parkway.  Join us for hamburgers, hot dogs, steak bites, potato salad, chips, beer, wine, soda, and more.  Please bring a side dish or dessert if you can.  We will have raffles, corn hole, t-shirts for sale, and games for the children.  Free to members --  bring your membership card -- and $10 for guests.
 
The picnic is a really fun event, but it takes lots of hands to pull it off.  We need help loading the trucks starting at 10:00 at the Aerie.  Once we're at the park, we need people to set up the food and drink tables; grillmasters to cook dogs, burgers and steak bites; and then to pack up the trucks at 5:00 to return to the Aerie.  
 
The Rathskeller will be closed during the picnic. 
Please see the signup volunteer link on the events page.
