OMC Meetings for 2010

Our member Doug Kovacich, who is also the President of S.A.M. 112 in Pleasant Hill has suggested having an Inter Club picnic on Labor Day, September 6th. He suggested that a good central location would be at the Oakland Zoo picnic area. It would be basically a pot-luck: salads, sides and desserts with the magic clubs providing beverages and paper plates, etc.  There will be several grills for grilling and also a stage area for us to share the magic.  This would be a great time for all our spouses, partners, and families to get together for a fun afternoon of camaraderie with the other magic clubs.  Please contact me so we can get a head count on who will be attending.  I will be the liaison with the other clubs and we can have a great time!
