The Wright State University Retirees Association (WSURA) will host a Summer Potluck Picnic for Wright State retirees on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2019, 3–6 p.m., at Fairborn Community Park. It will be an opportunity for retirees to reconnect with old friends and colleagues, make new friends and have some fun.
Since the university no longer sponsors the annual faculty, staff and retiree picnic, the WSURA decided to host this alternate event. If the picnic proves successful, it could become an annual event.
The WSURA Board will provide hamburgers, hot dogs and tableware. We ask that you bring your preferred drinks and a dish to share. (No alcoholic drinks are allowed in the park.) To ensure a variety of dishes, please bring a dish based on the first letter of your last name, as follows:
- Last names beginning with A-G: baked beans, green beans, veggie tray, corn dish, cheese tray, sliced tomatoes, etc.
- Last names beginning with H-N: pasta salad, potato salad, slaw, fruit salad, sliced watermelon, etc.
- Last names beginning with O-Z: appetizers, snacks, condiments, pickles, desserts, etc.
The picnic is free, but advance registration is required. To register, RSVP by Thursday, Aug. 1, to Mary Gromosiak, WSURA activities chair, by emailing mary.gromosiak@wright.edu. Be sure to let us know if you want to bring a guest so we can get an accurate head count.
Directions: Fairborn Community Park is located at 691 E. Dayton-Yellow Springs Rd., next to Fairborn High School, just west of I-675 exit 20. We will be in Shelter #2. The shelter has three two-sided grills and 12 electrical outlets, with restrooms nearby. As you enter the park, park straight ahead or to the right. Take the paved path on the left to Shelter #2.
