Club Picnic

This month is our annual club picnic. We will be meeting on August 21st at the Petoskey waterfront park just behind the fire station. The picnic will start at 6:00 pm. The club will be providing the burgers, hot dogs, drinks, cups, plates, etc. All we ask you to bring is a dish to pass. Please contact Cliff or Annette at 231-526-5645 and let them know what you are bringing.
