On May 21, 2006we had our first annual End-of Season Picnic at Brace Canyon Park in Burbank. The Chorale provided hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, and drinks and the Chorale members provided various side dishes and desserts. We had hours of fun conversation and good food (in spite of the cloudy weather). Thanks to Glenn and Amy Newland for organizing the event, to our BBQ chefs, and to all who attended.
