This will be a private informal meeting including our family members.The Society will provide a “picnic” consisting of hotdogs and the trimmings.

 You are asked to bring chairs and your own bottled or canned beverages (including a cooler and ice) for the number of people attending with you. Dress for staying outside, because the shelter is reserved for another group. Bring bug spray, sun protection, etc. as fits your family's needs.

If your family cannot attend, a friend would be welcomed.

Please let me know by Wednesday night if you will be attending, as well as the number in your party so the correct amount of food can be purchased.

If you can bring a portable canopy or other sun screen, let Donald know by email at DonaldMKinlaw@bellsouth.net

Eric Surratt is scheduled for an interesting program.

FYI: Princess Ann was chartered in 1796 as the second town in Robeson County. On a bluff overlooking a unique reverse flow area named Griffin's Whirl, it was the first inland town established by settlers traveling up the Lumber River from South Carolina. Settlers established the town on the bluff because they knew it would not be flooded and because the area provided an excellent landing along the river. The town is preserved now only as the name of the road that leads to the river.
