What better way to celebrate the changing of seasons than by joining geofriends for a picnic outdoors!  The SLAGA Fall Picnic was held Saturday, October 19th at the Kirkwood City Park and was hosted by SLAGA's own Treasurer nan-d1955. The day's festivities included a 50-50 drawing, Survey drawing, Geo Bingo, a Travel Bug Table, Premium Member drawing, and Closest to the Pin contest. While that fun was going on, wonderful volunteers cooked brats, burgers and hotdogs to accompany the many delicious side dishes, salads and desserts brought and shared by the many attendees.  This Fall picnic was a grand success due to the wonderful efforts of the CO, the SLAGA board members and the volunteers listed here:

After enjoying the fun activities, delicious food and genuine camaraderie, it was time for our SLAGA board President cootie_man (Michael) to step up to the mic.  He announced recent SLAGA activites and displayed the new SLAGA Mascot "Louie the Lion" to those in attendence, with congrats to designer denmother (Laurie).  He then fielded a few questions and comments, and notified attendees of upcoming events.  He also congratulated the year-long grand prize Adventure Awaits winners, before handing the mic over to our Vice President GeoKid12 (Robert).  Robert introduced and handed out awards to the geocaching milestone recipients for their amazing feats in geocaching. The board then distributed prizes to the winners of all the picnic activities.  And the recipients/winners are:
