Dear Club Members,
We had a great picnic today…wonderful food, thunder, lightning, rain, good company, and fire. We had it all… but I don’t recall seeing any ants or mosquitos. For the forty-seven of us who were there it was certainly a special event. The brats and burgers were excellent, thanks to Paul, KB0P who did his normal top-notch job at grilling. We had plenty of tasty, sweet corn thanks to Dave, N8KQS. Thanks to Keith, KS9WI for bringing all the soft drinks. Kudos to everyone who brought side dishes, salads, and desserts…they were many and delicious. As usual, the facilities at Osprey Point Park were just right. We have Gene, AB9GK to thank for arranging this first-rate venue. (Gene apologized for the rain…he told me he would try to do better next time.) I don’t know who to thank for the entertainment… the BBQ fire. You will probably be seeing pictures showing several of us standing around as the flames and black smoke billowed out of one of the grills. You might even see a picture of Paul holding a fire extinguisher as Todd, W9GRB removes a propane tank. No brats or burgers were on the grill and there was no damage. As I said, it was entertaining.
A big thank you to Sam, W9SJR for arranging this whole thing. As the Coordinator he had everything set up and ready for a great picnic. Ensuring that everyone signed up in a way that guaranteed a variety of dishes; soliciting help with the set up and clean up; and attending to every detail. Sam made sure all the elements of a memorable club picnic came together. Good job Sam!
I’ll close by thanking everyone who came out and certainly all those who helped in any way to make this another Green Bay Mike & Key Club success. A good time was had by all!
73,
Bill
P.S. Mark your calendars for our next big event, our Christmas Holiday Party on December 12th.
