The theme of this year’s picnic was a “Garden Party,” and the guests were asked to dress in their garden party best. A buffet consisting of hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad and corn was served.

A variety of games were played, such as “Flower Scramble” and “Flower Bingo.” Prizes were awarded to the game winners from our flower garden. There were also prizes given out to members for best hats, among other things. A good time was had by all.
