Our Summer Picnic is always a special annual treat, a
time to get together on the property for which we have all worked so hard to enjoy the fruits of our
labors. At the 2009 picnic Broken Rose provided the music. Friends'
President Brian Yates officiated at the event and introduced several of the
political figures of the city who jointed us.
Karen Osborn Shanley was again the benefactor who made the appearance of Broke Rose possible, and at the picnic she was again awarded the title of "Empress of Hemlock Gorge!"
