FitnessŪ (4M) - Post-Race Picnic

Let's have a team picnic!

Hopefully the weather will be nice for this race, and if it is, we'll have a picnic at Sheep's Meadow right near the finish of the Fitness 4 Miler Team Points race. Please RSVP here with what you're bringing. Drinks and picnic-y food fare are suggested.

If you can't find us, you can reach me (Rich) at [masked].

Here's a link to the actual race:

    We'll bring a cooler with ice if people want to leave any food in it. Try to find Jenny near baggage before the men's race and then before the women's race. It's not huge, so don't bring anything too too bulky to put in it!

    We'll bring some sandwiches and I can go get some boxes of coffee at Dunkin Donuts. Probably won't bring enough sandwiches for all 21 people though, so will need someone else to bring some as well...

    Scott, if Jim has sandwich rolls, you can put me for a pound of deli cheese, mustard and sliced pickles :)

    Perfect picnic weather. We had an awesome spread for food. Loved Sonia's turkey bacon pasta and Jennie's DW cupcakes. The carrot cake that Jeff brought from Lloyd's was a treat too!
