Picnic 2020
The committee and I have wrestled with this decision. St. Jude’s Annual Picnic in the Grove scheduled for August 7, 8 and 9 will not be held this year due to the Pandemic. But Please mark your calendar for St. Jude Annual Picnic in the Grove for August 13,14 and 15, 2021. We will return strongly to continue this great tradition on the Mountain. Stay connected and watch for potential community builders and fundraisers possibly at the end of summer and/or Fall. A big thank you to all chairs, booth chairs, sponsors and all those attend far and wide.
