Picnic Postponed

Written by Jeff Mattingly on . Posted in American Legion Post 281 News, Announcements.

Due to the pending messy weather that is headed our way over the next few days, we are postponing our annual Picnic that is scheduled for this Saturday and moving the picnic to a new date of 5 OCT. 

The location for the picnic on 5 OCT 2024 is now going to be Cedar Creek Campground, at 9264 Saundersville Road, Mt. Juliet, which is on Old Hickory Lake.

It is a large recreation area with a large pavilion and a large grill, a playground, and a sand beach on the lake.

If you would, share this information with anyone that you thought was planning to attend this Saturday’s event, so they get the “word”.

Some of you may have received a reminder email from our ‘SignUpGenius’ which still had the original date and location in it. I was able to edit the title of the event which has the updated date and location. The date and location further down in the event can not be changed with out starting a new event and we hope it’s not too confusing. That being said, here’s the link to use for RSVP and helping hands:

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4DAFA62DA7F5C52-50507636-post

Since things have changed please make any necessary changes in the sign up app.

Please let me know if you need help with the app. I’m happy to help.

The Picnic for Saturday, 14 Sep, is POSTPONED due to weather.

We’re going to be griddling hamburgers and hotdogs (buns, cheese and condiments included) and we’ll have some Cokes.

We need you to bring the other stuff!

Side dishes or deserts enough for six folks would be Great!

Some of the other stuff you could bring are listed in the “slots” on the RSVP sign up using the link above.

We’ll have some bean bags and maybe horse shoes to throw around. A little friendly competition perhaps?

Maybe you have an entertaining game idea?

Let’s get together to remember Tyler and have a good time.
