Hi!

Picnic - Sunday August 12th. 1:00 - ? This is a family event. Everyone is welcome. We will provide paper plates & plastic cutlery, hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, condiments, & charcoal fire. We would appreciate it if you could bring a dish to share. Easy games for those who wish to play include: Yahtzee, Corn Hole toss, Disc Golf, Jarts, and a version of Bocce (?) The Belvins will be there to show you how, if you need instructions.

We have reserved the shelter at the Knapp Recreation Area Shelter - off Cottage Grove Road in Green Ohio. 1:00 - ? It is ADA accessible. Part of the larger Portage Lakes State Park system, this is a separate 55 acre recreation area that is situated on the East Reservoir, also known as Cottage Lake. Only one entrance off of Cottage Grove Road between Rt.619 and Killian Rd.

I have heard that a Hairy Haggis has been seen in that part of the park. Perhaps someone's pet got away when they returned from Scotland? We will definitely organize a Haggis Hunt to check on that rumor.

Miscellaneous information. If you want information on Scottish Dancing, Refreshments at meetings, Programs, Membership, Gaelic classes, Radio broadcasts, or any other routine matters, they are on our web site: www.scottishamericansociety.org
Specific questions happily answered - just send me an email note: margaretfrost63@gmail.com

Akron Library - Indexing Volunteers Mary Plazo from the Special Collections area of the library, tells us they need Indexing Volunteers. This task is vital to ongoing genealogical research at the library, and can be done from home. If you have a computer and a bit of time now and then, perhaps you can help.
If you think you may be able to assist, please contact Cheri Goldner in Special Collections at 330-643-9030 or cgoldner@akronlibrary.org.
