Reserve August 22: The club's annual family picnic will be held on Saturday, August 22, at 21 Acres in Woodinville. Tana Baumler and Steve Dolan have again been enlisted to flip burgers. Sliced organic tomatoes and onions from the nearby row crops. Alex Hopkins, Pam Johnstone and Bill Schink are taking the point, too. Tentative starting time: 4 p.m. Members of the 21 Acres program will provide tours of the site, including the 18 acres of vegetable and berry crops under production. Volunteers will be asked to help with setup and the gathering and preparation of a community salad for the event. There's plenty of room for a mini car show, too.
