On September23rd the R-UTN held its Annual Picnic – and it was a wonderful afternoon. It was such a relief to be able to socialize with friends after so many months. Thanks to Alberta Scott, the event was captured in “film” and posted on the website Photo Gallery page.

R-UTN Annual Picnic is Back …

The R-UTN Picnic is Thursday, September 23 at the Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport.

A few reminders for those of you are coming.

Masks are optional for all vaccinated people but we must follow the CDC guidelines and require all non vaccinated guests wear masks except when eating.

Please bring a can or box of food (something non perishable) for the Food Pantry. There will be a box as you enter the tent for donations.

As you are leaving please empty any unfinished open soda or drink cans and put them in the recycle box. The staff appreciates the help.

The Vanderbilt is providing a wheelchair for trips to the bathrooms and there is a tram to take you from the parking lot to the tent.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone again!
