The menu will be Hot Dogs, baked beans, chips, watermelon, lemonade, water and a chocolate treat, cupcakes or brownies. Catherine will speak to the Pastors of Memorial and Shiloh to see if they would like to play some music and to give them a formal invitation. Terri will ask the Port Royal town council for permission to use the town green and Phyllis Sue will contact the Fire Department to obtain permission to use the kitchen and building. Liz Heimbach will prepare 150 flyers advertising the event, Carolyn and Terri will assist Liz in distributing them. The flyers will be given out on the 14th of August. Catherine will prepare an article for the newsletter and submit it in time for the August publication. Catherine will ask Becky if she would like to set up the children’s table and offer face painting for the children. The group will collect school supplies to be given out to the children attending the picnic. Liz Heimbach suggested purchasing like items and placing the items in a back pack for each child, so that all children will receive the same things. Cindy Fields will contact the schools to determine the correct supplies needed. Catherine will place announcement in the bulletin asking parishioners to bring in school supplies. Linda will communicate with David Beck, President of the ECM (Episcopal Church Mens Group) and recruit their assistance again for this project. The ECM reported that they were happy to help us with our projects after their last meeting.
