Please submit via e-mail to: gamesclubofmd@verizon.net
Over the years we have gotten a some requests to have the picnic on a
Saturday instead of a Sunday.
The Picnic would still occur at Centennial Park in Ellicott City, in the
month of July, and would still be from 10am-8pm.
How would changing the Picnic to a Saturday date in 2011, impact you
likelihood of attending?
_____a) I can only attend on a Saturday.
_____b) I can only only on a Sunday.
_____c) I prefer Saturday, but I could attend either day.
_____d) I prefer Sunday, but I could attend either day.
_____e) I can attend either day, I do not have a preference.

Centennial Park
Pavilion D
10000 Clarksville Pike-Route 108
Ellicott City, MD. 21042
We had a total of 133 in Attendance, which beats our previous record of
102 in 2007, and was 46% more than in 2008.
We maxed out on the " allowable pavilion capacity , but space was not an
issue, due to the volunteers that brought extra tables and chairs, and
everyone was not in the pavilion at the same time. We are planning to
return to Centennial Park in July next year.
Thanks to Everyone for a GREAT EVENT!
