Summer Picnic – Families Invited
by John KD9KSH, Social Activities Chairman
SARC Members, we have had a busy year with many events that have provided assistance to area organizations such as the Chicagoland Marathon, the MS Society, the Hoffman Estates Fourth of July parade, and others. The members of SARC have been requested to take part in helping out the community and we have done a fantastic job in providing help where needed.
It’s time that we get together for a picnic where we can have some fun and relax. On Saturday, July 23rd we have reserved a cabin in Bartlett that will provide us with space enough to eat, talk, and meet with our friends rain or shine. The cabin has indoor bathrooms, tables, chairs, and is even air conditioned.
Our club has done a great job helping others and it’s our turn to sit back and enjoy. Come alone or bring the family. Please plan to attend this event as it will be a fun afternoon.
WHEN: Saturday, July 23rd from noon till 4:00 PM.
WHERE: 102 N. Eastern Ave., Bartlett
Don KD9NJR will provide a fox hunt demonstration that will be interesting and fun. There will be a drawing for a $25.00 Visa Gift card from the club members present. The cabin is located in a park so there are slides, swings, and things to keep children occupied.
Please confirm your attendance by sending John KD9KSH an E-mail [use the Member Roster – ed.] by July 15th with the number of adults and children in your group.
Thanks and we hope to see you at the picnic.
