The 16th So Cal Corgi Picnic is SEPTEMBER 15!!!

-
WHO: all corgi lovers and their corgis, honorary corgis and wannabe corgis
WHAT: a potluck picnic with CorgiFolk
WHEN: Saturday, September 15, 2012; 11:00 am to 4?:00 pm
WHERE: Griffith Park, Los Angeles, across from Roosevelt Golf Course (map posted)
WHY: we LOVE our corgis!!

This picnic site is rustic with lotsa trees for shade and a grassy area if you want to bring a pop-up. The parking is close and so is the restroom!
.
Professionally-suggested yellow jacket traps will be 'in attendance' directly above the food table!! 

There will be no Corgi Corral but there will be a Hitchin' Post.  There will definitely NOT be any agility equipment and no unleashed dogs 'cuz this site is on the street.

All else remains the same: potluck, musical mats, donations to CorgiAid and So Cal-based corgi rescue, silent auction, good friends, and CORGIS!!

C'ya September 15th!

My "A-HA!" Moment

.
From the first So Cal picnic, all donations and auction proceeds have been earmarked for CorgiAid.  In recent down-economic times, So Cal-based rescue has been jam-packed with corgis, including a few with serious, ongoing, and expensive medical issues.  Because charity should begin at home, a portion of picnic proceeds will now be donated to St. Anthony's Canine Rescue in Lomita.
.
YOU DETERMINE HOW YOUR DONATION IS DIRECTED. 
.
All checks made out to CorgiAid will be sent to CorgiAid. 
.
Thirty percent (30%) of all cash donations will be given to SACR operated by Arleen Rooney, who is a familiar face at SCCPicnics.  If you would like to meet Arleen at the picnic (no autographs, please *g*), I will be happy to introduce you. 
.
Donations to the silent auctions are welcome and, if you email me a picture, I will post it here.

C'YA AT THE PICNIC!
