2011 Summer Picnic

Thank You to Col. Todd and Carrie Garlick for hosting our wonderful summer picnic at their home at Great Lakes Naval Base on August 28th.  While our cadets were weathering the rains and winds from Irene, our club enjoyed a glorious afternoon overlooking Lake Michigan.  Thank you to all who participated, brought food and made the event so much fun.  But a special thanks to Col. Garlick and Carrie.
