Now, THAT was a picnic
Take a thriving chapter, add in a perfect early summer (almost!) evening and non-stop food and you've got the makings of a perfect picnic. Dozens of members, families and guests (from as far away at New Hampshire!) made their way to the big top at the base of the Lake Elmo Airport beacon to renew and sometimes make acquaintances. Following the picnic, members visited the hangar of several members with stories to tell. We need to do this more often! The chapter really came together to pull this off so it's difficult to cite individuals for making it happen but we do want to extend particular appreciation for Tent Captain Gregg Adler and his work gang for putting up the tent, Dale Seitzer for the music, Bruce Olson for the cooking, Marlon Gunderson for the catering, and Jay Schrankler for organizing the tour. We've got pictures, if not clever captions. Find them all here.
