Re: [GSAS-board] Picnic

Luther Burbank Park sounds like a great idea to me. I don't know what the 
park or table layout is, but it would be nice if we could commandeer at 
least two tables for our use, maybe near the swimming beach. we could try 
for a BBQ, or bring our own. Maybe someone has access to a portable canopy 
we could set up. We'd need volunteers to get there plenty early.
There's also the option of renting a group picnic area if they are still 
available. $60, 80 or 100 for 1/2 day. Seems a bit high to me, but may be 
worth it.
