8:00 pm~ Discuss Idea of Larkspur/Old Farm picnic second weekend in September.

  Can we reserve the pavilion (paver block area near playground/bathrooms) through Park District?

*  I called Kris from the BMPD,389-7275 ext.122.  She said they aren’t reserving groups at this time, don’t know that they’ll set it up that way.  It is a public park so we certainly could through a big picnic. We should check with Senior Center make sure we aren’t conflicting with any of their events, also find out if Saturday is better than Sunday or visa versa.  

*Kris said we should get an alcohol permit ($5 through the police dept.). That way nobody gets fined if the beverages they bring contain alcohol.

* Suggested the grills (which have to be propane) are either in the grass or on the asphalt- but not the paver blocks. If grease spills it leaves a mess on the pavers.

We set the date of Sept. 10th from 5-7pm for a bring your own picnic gathering at Larkspur Park.  We are teaming with Old Farm to pull this off. They are trying to get ice cream donated. We will bring a bunch of lemonade.
