2008 GSOC Annual Picnic at Beacon Rock State Park, Washington

Date

 Sunday, August 10, 2008

Where and When

Board Meeting at 10:00 am, followed by picnic at noon. Our location this year is Beacon Rock State Park, Washington. Drive east on Hwy. 14 from Vancouver, Washington for 35 miles. We have reserved the upper picnic area (signs will be posted) until dusk. The picnic area is covered with electricity and water available. There is no day use or parking fee charged; however, GSOC will assess $5 per person to cover facility rental and other costs.

Food

GSOC will provide plates, eating utensils, and paper cups, as well as coffee and non-alcoholic beverages. We will not be grilling this year, but just having a potluck meal. If your last name begins with A through G, bring a dessert; H through P, bring a main dish; Q through Z bring a side dish or salad. Alcoholic drinks (other than kegs) are permitted, bring your own if desired.

Special Activity

Some members would like to hike to the top of Beacon Rock, or perhaps to the waterfall in the woods. We encourage anyone with musical abilities to bring their instrument for entertainment and sing alongs.
