Grrc Summer Picnic & Membership Meeting

The GRRC summer picnic and membership meeting will be at the Hopkins Point Lodge at Mendon Ponds Park. Open to members, members' guests, and potential members. This does include a membership meeting, which might be unappealing to children. There are no children's amenities at or near the lodge.

The club will provide grilled items, and attendees are asked to bring a dish or drink to share. Registration will be open through the day of the picnic, but to ensure we have the right amount of food, members are urged to register in advance. We don't want to over or under order! 

*We do our best to ensure everyone can eat something from the club offerings. If you have severe dietary restrictions or allergies, please contact us BEFORE you register, and we'll try to accommodate you. Please understand, we may not be able to meet everyone's needs, despite our best efforts and the dish-to-share nature of the event may mean needing to confirm ingredients before choosing something you didn't bring.
