Come by 8:00 AM for the morning bird walk. The rain date is Sunday, June 10th. Bring your own meat to cook on the grills and a dish to share (four or more servings). We will eat around noon. RAS will provide drinks, ice, and utensils. The Snyders will provide charcoal, picnic tables and chairs, and condiments. Children are welcome, but please leave your pets at home. Besides your food and binoculars, be sure to bring fishing gear and your swimsuit. Our own Larry Rohr will be at the RAS picnic this year and present a magic show. Larry is a very skilled magician and very funny and entertaining, so a good time will be had by all. He will perform right after lunch, so don’t be late. Come join us for this RAS season finale.
