THE BLACK AND GOLD POST

As many of you are aware, we have been holding our Annual Fan Club Picnic on the first Saturday in June at The Vietnam Veterans Hall in Dundalk for the past several years without fail. Unfortunately, due to scheduling issues with the Hall, we will not be doing that this year. This unforseen development came up somewhat suddenly and efforts were undertaken to find another suitable location. That seemed to fail and the decision was made to cancel this year's picnic altogether. However, a couple of Fan Club members have expressed an interest in opening up their personal homes to host the Fan Club Picnic. We are assured that space for parking and activities will not be a problem so the picnic may be on again.

Given the time frame we are dealing with, a 6/5 event is just not possible but we are looking at one of the other Saturdays in June. With this being said, it would be helpful to try and get an approximate count of who may attend and what June Saturday dates are convenient for those who express an interest.

This is where you come in. If you're interested in attending, please go to the Fan Club website at and send an email to either Steve Chiurazzi or Ed McConnell and let us know what works for you. Our email addresses are located at the bottom of the home page. The location will most likely be somewhere in the Kingsville/Parkville area.

This is always a fun event and a great way to renew old acquaintances and make new ones in a relaxed setting. It would be a shame to waste this opportunity and the generosity of fellow Club members who don't want to see this tradition missed for even one year. We look forward to hearing from you very soon.
