Hi Everyone!
 
 We wanted to thank everyone who managed to attend the picnic this year.

The weather was not that cooperative and at times we thought it was going to start raining, but thankfully, it all worked out in the end.
(The rest of the story will be published in the Fall Newsletter which will be sent out in November)


Please send photos from the picnic to add to the newsletter.
 
Mark your calendars for our BōnenKai-Party (The Year Ending Party).  
It will be held on Sunday, December 2nd, 2018.
At the American Legion at 1165 River Road, Edgewater, N.J. 07020
 
As you all know, this is a get-together party for celebrating the end of 2018. Please bring your favorite potluck dish. We can always cook some simple food at the party, too, like we did at the last picnic.
You can bring marinated meat, washed and ready to cook vegetables, etc.  
 
New ideas for fun games / other fun ideas for the party are welcomed.

 
Thank you !
