Another Grand Time was experienced by our club at the KARC/BMRC 2019 Picnic. We had lots of delicious food, well over 40 folks attended and interesting discussions were had by all. Members and their families talked about everything from where they got married to where their next vacation is going to be. Always a good time to learn new things about each other!!!
