Once again, North Augusta Sertoma will be hosting a Family Picnic on August 9 at Rowland’s pond near Edgefield. This is the same venue where we had the picnic at in 2012, and everyone who attended had a great time.

Planning is still in process, but Gene Lott will be heading up the committee and Larry Brown and Johnny Morris have volunteered to provide us with an ample supply of fried fish and hush puppies… and yes, there might even be a grit or two.

Save the date, and contact Gene Lott (gene.lott@gmail.com) to see how you can assist with these festivities, or you can reply to this message and it will be forwarded to Gene. More details will follow as they are figured out.
