11th Annual NYA Picnic

August 1std, 2nd & 3rd, 2008

George and Cathy Seltzer would like to extend the invitation again this year to you and your families and significant others for the 11th Annual NYA Summer Picnic to be held at their home in Whitney Point, NY. This event has proven to be fun and inspiration for all attending.

Schedule For The Weekend

Friday: Arrival @ 6, Pizza and beverages, Bonfire at 8 PM.

Saturday: Arrival at noon, lunch promptly at 1 (bring a dish to pass or contact Tolpaint23@stny.rr.com for other picnic items)

4 PM: "Awards" by Sylvia and door prizes to follow

6-7 PM: Impromptu meal of Spaghetti & Meatballs, Salad and Italian Bread

7 PM: Bonfire with Candle Light Ceremony with participation of various list members. (plan not to miss this)
These are just the highlights of the weekend. Bring your suits and towels as the pool will be open at times throughout the weekend. Other activities will be held also. If anyone has ideas please contact Cathy Seltzer at tolpaint23@stny.rr.com

Due to the very successful Chinese Auction put on by Johnny's birthfamily last year I was able to give Cathy enough money to cover the tables, chairs, port-a-potty and sink.  We decided that the auction and raffles were so successful we should hold another one this year. 

Our picnic fee last year was $25.00 per member which includes your family or any guest you wish to bring (not per person).  Since we have a head start on the monies needed for the picnic this year the fee will be $20.00 UNLESS you bring a donation for the auction.  If you bring a donation the fee will be $15.00.  Cathy still has to pay for the pizzas, hot dogs, hamburgers, salads plus what is needed for our evening meal Saturday.  We've been having spaghetti with meatballs, salad Italian bread etc.  She also must purchase the candles we use for the Candlelight Service Saturday evening and other incidentals that we might not think of.  With everyone bringing a dish to pass we have all kinds of yummy dishes.

Please send your picnic fee of 20.00 or 15.00 ASAP to: (Checks or money orders only)

Cathy will send out a reminder note the day before she cashs your check so you can adjust your check books.

Camping will be available for those out of town people again this year. Let her know early to reserve your spot.

A list of Motels will be sent out periodically for those who are traveling from a long distance (or just want to share in the "after the picnic parties) Most of us stay at the Motel 6 on Front St.

A list of directions to Cathy's will also be sent out and signs are usually placed along the route so that you can find us.

We always need:
Ice
Soda
Condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, pickles, olives
Chips
Cakes
Cookies
Watermelon
Grated Cheese
Butter

If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to ask.  It might be better to ask me since Cathy works full time now and doesn't get to her email as often as she would like.  That is one burden I can remove from her shoulders!  nyamom@atmc.net

Last year we had an outstanding group for the picnic and I really hope that we can have one that is equal or better this year.  I promise, you won't be disappointed that you came.
