Our annual MI3Si summer picnic will be held Saturday July 19th at the home
of Jeff Williamson in Belleville, near the intersection of I94 and I
275.This is typically our largest gathering of the year and everyone is
invited to attend, even if you are not able to bring your 3S. We'll get
started around 3pm and keep going until everyone leaves. Spouses, relatives,
friends, and kids and welcome, but no pets please. (Jeff's dog is great with
people, but rules his domain when it comes to other animals).

The picnic was held at Jeff's house a few years in the past, but for those
who haven't been there before, there's plenty of private space for parking
at least 30 cars, and we shouldn't have to worry about situations like the
mudfest we had in 2003. Directions to Jeff's house will be sent privately
upon request.

This year, we'll be doing the food like we did last year. Instead of
everyone bring something to share, it's BYOB and BYOF. So bring whatever you
want to eat and drink, and we'll have someone manning the grill for anyone
who has something they want to throw on it. We'll fire up the grill around
5pm. And we'll have napkins, plastic wear, condiments, cups, etc. on hand.

We realize this is relatively short notice, but hope you can attend. There
will be a sign-up sheet on the web site (www.mi3si.org) in a couple of days.
Please register on the sign-up sheet if you plan to attend. You can attend
even if you don't register, but this is just to give us an idea of how many
people to expect.

Hope to see everyone there!
