The picnic date had to be changed from April 25 to April 18 as there was a conflict for the Nettles. More discussion on the picnic in March. Don Reese will help cook burgers, dogs & sausages. Bill Piastuch graciously volunteered to coordinate the food.

All attendees should plan on an early start in order to be at Mitch and Rita Patterson’s home before 12:30. Rita has planned a low country boil for 38 people. We will then go to Shannon Winery in Sylvania, GA. From there we will head to our hotel in Hilton Head. Maps and directions were given to the Wine Festers.
Steve Parker announced that the new website is under construction and should be up and running soon.
