The Annual Family Picnic was hosted by the officers and a big thank you to Clark Kemmerer and Alice Angelo. The pavilion was nice and breezy for such a hot day! Hot dogs and hamburgers were served with an array of sides.

Tina reminded us of the upcoming train ride on the "Potomac Eagle" for Friday, October 21, 149 Eagle Drive Romney, West Virginia. The excursion is a three hour trip (1-4PM) that goes in search of bald eagles down a remote stretch of the Potomac River, southbound through the Trough to Sycamore Bridge and back. It is approximately thirty-five miles round trip. There is no layover; passengers stay on-board. The standard diner receives a boxed lunch, advanced reservations are required, and your entree must be chosen at the time of reservation. You have four selections for the boxed luncheon,

Some of our members may want to stay in Cumberland and ride the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad the next day, Saturday the 22nd,

If you want to spend the night, a suggestion is the Sleep Inn & Suites, Cumberland-LaVale, Maryland.
