70th Anniversary for Arlington-Fairfax Chapter

    The Arlington-Fairfax Chapter was chartered by the Izaak Walton League of America in February, 1936.  That makes us 70 years old and it’s time to celebrate with our annual picnic for all members, their families and their friends.  The picnic will be held on Saturday, July 8, and promises to be a bang-up affair under the chairmanship of Bob Brino. And he needs help!  e-mail rgpb46@aol.com.
Steamship round of beef, barbecued pork, grilled chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, corn-on-the cob, potato salad, cold slaw, baked beans and rolls with the usual beverages will be served.  The picnic ‘lunch’ will be served at 1 p.m.  But come early and make it a day to relax and visit with all your old and new friends.
Tickets for the picnic must be purchased in advance (we need to know how much food to provide).  We must have a final count July 1 at which time ticket sales will be handled on a first-come, first served basis for the final days and at the gate the day of the picnic.  Ticket prices are: members and their immediate family members - $8 each; guests - $10 each, children 6-13 - $5.00 each and all kids under 6-years old are free.  After July 1, add $2 to each ticket.
