We met at Joi Brundedge’s home on Perch Lake on August 16^th for our yearly picnic-meeting. Although the weather report was not promising we had a good afternoon. Lunch was served in the kitchen area. Several people stayed on the screened porch facing the lake; others chose chairs outside near the lake. It was a warm, breezy, cloudy day, with blue skies occasionally. Fortunately the thunderstorm that had been predicted for the afternoon held off until late afternoon after the picnickers had left.
