This way to pleasant memories! 

It was perfect weather at Grosse Point Shores Lakefront Park for the Retiree Association's first picnic endeavor.  67 retirees, friends and spouses arrived and enjoyed Honey Baked Ham box lunches & refreshments.  Old friends and former co-workers renewed acquaintances and brought themselves up to date on what others were doing with their retirement lives.  John & Nan Flint brought their organ grinder and provided periodic music and George Istratoff also led the group in some songs with his harmonica.  What a nice treat!  Again, it always surprises Association members what a wide range of interests and talents our members have to share.  The day concluded with some concern ala Bill Burke when he found out he locked his keys in his car!  Resourceful retirees baled him out however with a coat hanger and a car window "fishing" expedition.

50/50 winners:
Carrie Irvine, Bill Burke and Bob Ling
