Please bring something for our potluck lunch (hamburgers, hot dogs, side dish, salad, fruit, dessert, etc.)  Don't forget plenty of fluids!  Also bring: sunscreen, towel, football, frisbee, boogie board, etc.  I will bring my volleyball stuff. Since they don't allow grilles on the beach, we will have a grille available between 12:30-2:30pm at the covered pavilion/old concession stand (to the left as you're walking towards the beach, before the dunes).  After 2:30pm we will put the grille away and move down to the beach.  Looking forward to celebrating with everyone!
