A Group Picnic

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Would you like to have a group picnic?

I'm working on a plan for a group picnic. (next year we can have a

plan to make it an annual picnic for our group.)

But, for now, I need your help with planning. Some of our families

have met here before, so you may remember it. For newbies; I know of

one very good picnic area that has a playground with 2 sizes

playgrounds next to each other in the same fenced in area. The

playground has bench seating all the way around and it is easy to

watch about your children here. The picnic pavilion is right next to

the playground area and also provides 2 vending machines for

beverages. The restrooms are also close by.

I thought this would be a good place with alot of our group's

families having small children or children who may wander from a

playground area. I based this park on the safty of the totally

fenced in playground for our kids and the convenience of the pavilion

right next to the playground area.

The park is in Sagamore Hills and I found out that we could reserve a

pavilion any weekday or week evening for free through my sister in

law who is a resident there in Sagamore Hills. Weekdays (M-F) are

free of cost to reserve but Weekend (Sat, Sun) reservations would

cost $50.00 to reserve.

I need to know if this sounds good, being weekdays are free to

reserve the pavilion, what about a Friday evening at 6:00pm we could

do a hot-dog, hamberger, or if on the special diet something reletive

to that. (I found gfcf/nitrate free, hotdogs at a few different

locations.)

I was thinking also of having some college interns to help with some

of the children on the playground so parents can have a chance to

chat with one another.

so here is the agenda,

we need to decide on a weekday evening or weekend but would be a fee,

we could split the cost of a weekend reservation, (for september, as

August is already reserved both sat, sundays.) or we could reserve

free on a weekday evening.

great idea - sounds like fun! I'm open to most week-nights except for Tuesdays, at least until August 20, since school starts then. After that, Friday night sounds good.

Thanks for doing this!
