Time for NorCalPCA's annual potluck picnic at Pine Lake Park at Stern Grove in San Francisco. There are grills if you want to bring meat and beer sharing is strongly encouraged.

Also on sale will be beautiful Peace T-shirts and jackets to raise funds to help disabled children (from land mines, etc.) in S.E. Asia. Please bring cash and/or checks for purchase of the calendars, shirt and/or jackets.

Interested in the picnic, but live too far away to come as a day trip, contact Jayma and she will try to find you a place to stay with an RPCV in the area. If you live in the area and would be willing to extend hospitality to a out of town RPCV with a spare room, couch or floor where someone could stay, email Jayma Brown

If you are interested in carpooling, either can provide a ride or would like a ride, contact Jayma at least 48 hours in advance of the picnic. jaymaghana[at]earthlink.net
