From the North go just past Freeland and turn right onto Double Bluff Rd. We will have the ever popular FA paper plate signs at the turns. It will all be very obvious and is easy to find.
Please BYOB = we start arriving between 3 and 4PM. with a long social hr or two.
On Thurs. Sept 4th - The Annual Picnic held once again at Villa Luna (www.villa-luna.com)
This is a potluck luncheon (and the FA crowd never disappoints), helps to bring your favorite beverages, we will have water, soft drinks, some beer, some wine and lots of coolers to keep things cold.
We ask for a $10 donation for expenses and Virginia Brown will graciously be keeping track of the $$$. We pay for supplies, the rental of the facility, garbage fees, and a cleaning lady the next day.
Directions: Double Bluff Rd. (sound familiar - same street as JoAnn's) and we will have the street markings up and obvious. The web site has a link to google maps with directions or you can trust the paper plate route.
What to Expect: A day of wonderful interaction amongst your lifetime peer group. It's so nice to have all day to catch up with everyone you see. And enjoy the beautiful accommodations provided. The gardens are fabulous to stroll through not to mention the house. Marchella will be having an Inventory Clearance Sale and anyone else interested in selling their wares we will make room for you. The picnic starts about 10:30AM or whenever you arrive till whenever you leave.
We have a bunch of new "retirees" and we would love to see you make the effort to attend. "I had to fly" is no longer an excuse!!! Our connections with one another is never ending and it's great to catch up with everyone. Carpooling with friends is advisable. You can always meet up at Blue Ribbon on the Mukilteo Spdwy. lv your cars parked along the street side of the parking lot (Located between McDonald's and Azteca Resturant).
I know folks who come from out of state every year to make this picnic so for those of you who live in the NW I really hope you make the effort to attend. I'm looking forward to seeing you all. I would also like to hear from those of you who attend if you would like to go back to the Freeland Community Center next yr, or, if it's offered, have it at Villa Luna again next yr. If you have any announcements you would like made please let me know, and of course we will be having a group picture in the afternoon.
If you have any questions please email me or call Caryl Jones at 360-331-3147. Many folks spend the night and really make it a layover. Hopefully the weather will cooperate like it did last yr and we will have a beautiful day.
Take care Terri Coyne has been here helping me get ready for the garage sale next Fri/Sat. What a job. Anyone want to stop by to see us please do 8519 Meridian Ave North - Seattle 98103.
I wish you all well Jane
