With the end of the semester comes a lot of stress as we are all trying to get
projects finished and study for exams.

free food and soft drinks provided!

It will be held at BG "City Park" (see link below) in the Kiwanis shelter.

The picnic begins at 12 p.m. and will probably end around 4 or 5 p.m.

faculty members!

We hope to see you there!
