The club has reserved the Coneflower Shelter at Moore Memorial Park (3050 Northridge Pkwy in northwest Ames). Family and friends are also welcome – this is intended to be an informal social event for the club and a chance to get to know each other better. No sign-up or RSVP is required.

If you are attending, please bring one or more main course dishes to share (and maybe a side dish, too!) along with place settings (plates, silverware, napkins, etc.) and non-alcoholic beverages for your group.

We’ll have lots of socializing, fun, and good food and hope to see you there!
