RAS Summer Picnic - Saturday, June 21st, 2008
Richmond Audubon's Annual Summer Picnic - hosted at the home of Buz and Nelda Snyder at their lovely home in Varina. Their home overlooks a private pond with a small beach, swim raft, picnic area, and even a cabin with changing rooms and half-bath. Come for the morning bird walk. RAS will provide drinks, ice, and utensils. Bring a dish to share with the group and your own meat to cook on the grills. We will eat around noon. The Snyders will provide charcoal, picnic tables and chairs, and condiments. Families are welcome. This fellowship event marks the end of our active season as our youth get out of school and families scatter in all directions for summer vacations, so come join us for this season finally.
