To kick off the festivities, we'll meet together for drinks and snacks. We'll have a selection of beers and hard ciders, non-alcoholic and kid friendly drinks along with some light snacks.
This will be a great opportunity to connect with others and maybe make some dinner plans with old friends.
SATURDAY PICNIC
Menu:
Hoagie sandwiches (vegetarian, dairy free options) from Antonio's Deli (sponsored by BFA!), gluten free sandwiches, sides and drinks: sparkling water, bottled water and juice boxes.
Feel free to bring your own favorite beverage (non-alcoholic).
Brenda Mellon, BFA's Chief Advancement Officer, will be there to share any updates about BFA, chat with you and she'll have some t-shirts and stickers for everyone.
SATURDAY DINNER
We have lots of options, including dairy free, gluten free and vegetarian options.
Please note that the 1st drink (see menu notes) is included, after that you can open your own tab.
At the restaurant we will have our own room on the 2nd floor (elevator available).
We will have our own bar with a dedicated bartender. There will be space for kids to play (feel free to bring corn hole or a game of some sort for your kids).
If you or someone in your family would like something else, you can order (added to your tab) anything off the restaurant's full menu.
