AIMC Summer Picnic?!?!?

So, a few of us had the idea the other day that it could be a pretty fun idea to have an AIMC picnic. Sort of like the idea of your highschool Senior Picnic, or a Company Picnic. Where we could reserve a space at park for the day, potluck, and play fun goofy games like water balloon toss, etc.

I'd like to get some feedback if anyone would be interested in doing this. Probably some Sunday in September. Including faculty, alumni and students. If people are game for the AIMC Picnic idea I would be happy to start some planning, and I've been told we can put in a request to Student Council for the possibility for some financial support.

I hope everybody is up for some good picnic fun!... It would be another great way for us to meet everyone at our school.

anyone have any suggestions for locations? I know a few have been mentioned but I dont remember what they were.
As for dates, Im thinking one of the Sundays in September, so...
9/14
9/21
9/28
Im thinking the closer to the beginning of the term the better, but probably not that first Sunday, so anyone know of anything else going on these days, or any preferences over one or the other? let me know!!; ▶ Reply to This

FYI--The CEU calendar is pretty clear then as well.

Cordonices (sp?) and Tilden Park have been mentioned. Other thoughts on where there might be a ball diamond?; ▶ Reply to This
