PDC Annual Picnic
08/17/2008 5:00pm
245 Wilton Avenue, North County
Expected guests at the PDC Picnic include many elected officials and candidates. The picnic features good food, brief (very brief!) speeches, a silent auction and raffle of valuable and sentimental political (and non-political) goods. If you have something to contribute to the auction call the PDC at (650) 949-1009 or contact us by e-mail at pdc AT peninsulayd.org.
For readers new to the PDC, and for those with memories that may need reminding, here are some of the specifics. The picnic is a potluck with enough food to make a meal. (Those who come early can generally fill up on desserts.)
We request a $10 contribution at the door; wine, beer and soft drinks will be available; you are asked to bring a potluck dish to share (appetizer, main dish, salad, or desert – your choice). Please bring your checkbook to facilitate bidding on the fabulous articles in the auction. There will also be a raffle with interesting and unique prizes. The picnic will be held at Shoup Park off University Avenue in Los Altos where it has been for the past several years. Directions: Get on El Monte Road; from 280 exit at El Monte toward Los Altos; from Foothill Expressway or El Camino Real take El Monte toward Foothill College. There is a signal at the intersection of University and El Monte. Go West on University (left if you were going toward Los Altos; right if you were headed toward Foothill). After a few blocks the entrance to Shoup Park will be clearly marked on your left. (If you get to the intersection of University and Main you have missed the park; go back.) There is limited parking down the driveway in a lot at the park. If possible, park on the street and walk — it is about one block — down to the park. No reservations or RSVP required; for further information, call the PDC at 650/949-1009.
