Welcome Shebbie - we are so excited you are bringing your foster children (7) so folks if you have extra games and stuff to bring that would interest kids.. be sure and bring them.. | |

Man, I went to work today & came home to see that our numbers have grown! I think we are going to have a great day of fun. Can't wait to see all the regulars & meet all of the newbies.

| POF Picnic at Sardis lake on June the 6th 8am to 9pm Posted: 5/27/2009 10:10:02 PM | Hi Linda and all,
My sister, myself, and another will be attending. (total 3 people)
I will be bringing: Potato Salad, Baked Beans, and some type of dessert.
I've not been to Sardis Lake before but am assuming it being a state park, trees will be plentiful for shade? I did read we've got a pavilion, but a chair under the shade of a tree just can't be beat.
I own a full pan Chaffing Dish - had mentioned it to Mike and he thought it a good idea to bring. (Hey Mike read your not coming - You will be missed!) Just let me know if you think it could be beneficial. My thoughts were to use half to keep my baked beans in and the other half could hold the meat as it comes off the grill.
Also, if you need any extra hands I don't mind helping with cooking , set up, or whatever you might need., just shoot me a message if so. Looking forward to seeing everyone and my sister is too.  | |

| POF Picnic at Sardis lake on June the 6th 8am to 9pm Posted: 5/29/2009 3:26:56 PM | Well, I am the next one to drop off the list. My work has extended and I won't be in the USA until mid Jun. I am dissapointed to miss the picnic. Maybe the next one.
Hope everyone has a LARGE time! | |

| POF Picnic at Sardis lake on June the 6th 8am to 9pm Posted: 5/29/2009 3:45:37 PM | Just a side note- I know that many looked at my profile (as we all did) to see a little about the people who will attend and probably waiting to meet in person.
If anyone is interested in chatting by e-mail, please do so. I am stuck in Africa for another couple of weeks and would love to hear from you.
Again, hope everyone has fun. | |

| POF Picnic at Sardis lake on June the 6th 8am to 9pm Posted: 5/30/2009 10:54:38 AM | We have sooooooo many new signups!!!!! It is great to see all of you joining us. Simplyjustme (and any others that haven't) please go to the first page of this thread & click on the button that says "sign up to attend" so that your picture will show up in the "gallery". Ann & I will take care of getting the food list updated as to what everyone is bringing & how many are coming with you.
As a reminder, don't forget your chairs, cold drinks (NO alcohol) , fishing/swimming gear if you so desire. If I can find them, I plan on bringing horseshoes but if anybody has any "yard" games, pleasae bring them along. Early weather reports for next weekend point to great weather for our day.
By tomorrow, I will have exact directions from I-55 to our location posted. Hopefully, will also have some pictures to post of the area as well (since I will be snapping the pictures, I can't prosmise anything too glamorous but will give you an idea of what we have to look forward to.)
Looking forward to seeing all the "regulars" & meeting all the new attendees.

| POF Picnic at Sardis lake on June the 6th 8am to 9pm Posted: 5/30/2009 11:28:17 PM | I have posted the driving directions on the first page of this thread. I didn't manage to get any pictures today (I don't do that well when I am driving ) but was able to get some pictures that were taken back in the early spring when we first started thinking about having the picnic & post them. They are also on the front page in a slide show of sorts. Will give you an idea of what the place looks like. The swimming beach is right there were we will be, as well as a play ground for the kids. The spillway is there close too for all of the fishermen that are coming.
We will have electrical plugs close so if anybody wants to bring fans, they would be helpful to keep the air moving (in case it turns out to be one of those rather warm days w/ no wind at all).
Looks like we are going to have a great turnout.

Hope everyone has fun!
