What: Alumni Family Picnic 2001!
When: Noon, Saturday, June 30, 2001
Where: "The Cove", in Newton, MA
It's time for the second annual Alumni Family Picnic. On Saturday,
June 2nd starting around 12 noon, all alumni, actives and their
families (significant others as well) are invited to "The Cove" in
Newton. Unlike other EBA events, the Picnic offers the opportunity for
the whole family to come out and join in on the fun.
The Cove (nickname for Edgewater Park) is located in Newton, just west
of Boston. It offers an abundance of resources to take advantage of.
We will have picnic tables, 6 grills, a softball field, basketball
courts, tennis courts and plenty of space for Bocce, frisbee, croquet
and other lawn games. And for the kids (and kids at heart), there is a
nice, full playground with slides, swings and more. Kayaking fans,
don't forget to bring your gear!
Here are a few photos from last year...
For food, the EBA will provide clams, steaks, burgers and dogs. For
beverages, beer, soda, and a variety of juices will also be provided.
Everyone is encouraged to bring a fine selection from their kitchen to
share with the attendees.
Please leave a message on this site to let us know...
- How many people you are bringing
- What kind of food you are bringing
- What games, if any, you are bringing
This will help us with our shopping list. If you have any questions,
just send me email. Hope
to see everyone on Saturday and lets hope for some good weather!
