Holiday Party 2011

The Twenty Club Holiday Party will be held on Saturday, Dec 17, 2011. It will be
held at the MCC (Metropolitan Community Church) 155 Wyllys street, Hartford.
(Please note the Location!)

We will open to setup for the meal at 12 noon and we plan to serve at about 1
pm. Note! This is not the regular meeting date!  The party will be our only agenda and
we will plan to be all finished by 4 pm.
This is a great time and a wonderful opportunity to see people we haven't seen
in a while. Please consider coming. The MCC location has a full kitchen and
plenty of tables and utensils. We are very lucky to have use of this facility.
W thank the MCC congregation for this opportunity.

 We provide the sliced meat along with plates, etc. Everyone else contributes by
bringing something to share. This works best if everyone brings
something different.  If you plan to come add your name and food contribution to a
message and email the group. If you decide to come at the last
minute please do! Check what is on the list and bring something
different. Suggestions: Potato dish, vegetable dish, salad of some
sort, stuffing, desert (always popular.) Please bring your own drinks if you
want something other than coffee or water.

 Come Join us!

Announcement -- Picnic Date Change

We have rarely ever changed the date of the Picnic, but due to the dangerous heat in the current heat wave it has been decided to postpone the Annual Picnic. I know this will be difficult for some but the current heat is dangerous for some of our membership, including me (I just had surgery.)

The new date is below.

The Annual Picnic is NOW Sat Aug. 13th at Stratton Brook State Park. We will meet starting at 12 Noon and go as late as you want. Check below.

Twenty Club Picnic

The annual picnic is held at Stratton Brook State Park in Simsbury, CT. We
begin to assemble at noon at or near the Picnic Shelter. The club provides
Hamburgers and Hot Dogs with rolls, condiments, paper plates and plastic wear.
We also provide Charcoal for barbeque. We ask everyone to bring something to
share (baked beans, potato chips, salads, etc.) and their own drinks. If the
weather is agreeable there is the opportunity to swim in the near-by pond.
Officially, the State claims to be collecting parking fees ($9.00 per CT
registered Vehicle), but in some recent years no one has been there to collect.
There is no guarantee on this situation this year, come prepared! You may want
to bring your own comfortable folding chair.

The day is always a pleasant change of pace and an opportunity for casual
conversation. Place this event on your calendar now!
