Someone complained about having an event at CF Church... few reasons: we have a
picnic at CF Church is many older people cannot stand heat anymore. Other
reason is state park shelters are either booked or expensive.
If any DSG member wants to have any event in a different place, she or he would
have to be chairperson so DSG will be happy to help her or him.
Come and join with us for fun! See ya all there
