It's almost time for the annual picnic in the park; This year we are planning an Italian theme (with lots of vegetarian options) and all dishes guaranteed to have you singing arias! As always, we need volunteers to make it happen; please help if you can. Just a couple of hours of your time can be the difference between a terrific feast, oceans of camaraderie, and well, no picnic :( . We have a signup available online--just follow the link below 2010 Annual MNA Picnic in the Park Saturday, September 25th An Italian Feast Dinner served at 6pm Mountain View Park To volunteer, please go to: http://www2.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?datafile=mna_picnic All current member of the MNA are eligible to attend at no charge; visitors may partake for a nominal fee of $10 per person. Remember, you can sign up for membership on the spot! .................................................................................. For those who have never attended the MNA picnics, this is a lot of fun and a great chance to meet other people in the neighborhood. The picnic is hosted for MNA members, but you can join at the picnic or simply pay on a per-person basis (although members have priority in line to make sure we don't run out of food). Also, please consider volunteering... Randee has done a great job of hosting the picnics over the past several years and could use any help she can get. Eric Deal MNA President
