A note from John Prange, our Picnic committee chair!
A big thank you to all of you for your contribution toward another successful picnic. 57 adults and 11 children consumed all but 3.5 sandwich ribeyes at a total cost of $423.17 or $6.22/person. And the side dishes were once again phenomenal! And, of course, the group time with the committee is always special.
I have been thinking some more about when this all started. My first picnic was in 1989 at George Piersol’s cabin on the Mississippi, the year after I joined Rotary (Oct 1988). It began probably two years prior to that because I remember it being fairly new that year. George grilled chicken over the big block grill. George and Ron did the grilling that year. Ron and I grilled the next year while George supervised and made sure everyone’s drinks were full. I would imagine that it started 2-3 years prior to 1989, say 1986 – Ron might be able to piece that together. That means this was #34. That is a LONG time – great tradition!
So thanks again for helping to keep this tradition alive. What say we do it again next year!!!!
PS: EP had my tongs. That 30+ year tradition continues as well as those two tongs have never been separated!
