The 2009 picnic was June 17 at Pond View Shelter in Mendon Ponds Park. Our special guest at the picnic was Ron Urban from the NYS Council of Trout Unlimited. Ron had a few words to share with us about the better bottle bill and other happenings in NYS. The annual chapter raffle was drawn during the picnic and our winners were announced (or contacted if they weren’t there).

Despite the down pouring rain, the grills were fired up at 6:00 and dinner was served at 7:00. The chapter picnic is a membership-family picnic and all chapter members and their guests were invited to attend. The event included great grilling through the extreme down pouring rain, and good eats. Of course fishing was impossible unless you were feeling like a water foul.

Grilled food such as hot dogs were supplied by the chapter, as well as soda and chips. Guests brought along a dish to pass and there was so much food everyone had a chance to walk away with a plate (or two) for home.

We’d love to see you at any of our events!

Please watch for our annual picnic in June of 2010.
