This year's Picnic is on Sunday, August 12th at the Beaver Island State Park Marina Shelter (right near the marina, smart name for the shelter, huh?)  We are having all of the usual picnic favorites including dogs, burgers, sausages, corn, beans, yak and armadillo!  The cost of the picnic is free for NMA members and their families, but please bring your own drinks and a dish to pass.  Desserts are always welcome, in fact they are encouraged!  We serve the food around 1 PM.  The raffle table will be loaded with all kinds of fun stuff including Jim Kinner's Davey Jones' Locker!  We will also raffle off half of the wonderful stuff Roy Edwards donated to the club Chinese style.  There will be a pinata for the kids and Adam to smash, the Casting Contest and Scott Kitchen will review your taxes for the past five years for free!  Maybe not so much with the taxes, but there will definitely be a pinata.  Bring the wife, bring the kids, bring the grandparents and bring the grand kids!  The Picnic is a lot of fun and is always relaxing.  I am guaranteeing a rain free event, although I can't rule out snow, locusts or frogs.  There might be snakes too, but no rain.  I hope to see you all there.
