Annual Picnic

​

June 7, 2025

Location: Sandy Bottom

​

Mark your calendars for 12:00 PM Saturday, June 7, 2025, at Parker Pavilion in Sandy Bottom Park.
Many of you know where Parker Pavilion is but for those who don't, if you are coming in the Big Bethel entrance, go past the Visitor Center and look for a picnic shelter on the right near the lake.  If you are coming in the Hampton Roads Center Parkway entrance, the shelter will be on the left about 1/10th of a mile from the entrance.  We will have a Hampton Roads Bird Club banner hanging on the shelter.  There are parking lots adjacent to, and across the street, from the shelter.

We will pass around a signup sheet for food at the May 8 meeting.  Be thinking about what you would like to bring. There is no electricity to plug in a crockpot or anything of that nature so to keep a dish hot so please bring your food in an appropriate container to keep it warm.  Tablecloths and drinks will be provided by the club.  If you cannot attend the meeting but plan to come to the picnic, please email either Brenda Tanner at brtanner@hotmail.com  757-867-8407 or Jeannie Atkins at jeannie.and.harold@icloud.com 757-287-3985.

There are other things to do at the park if you would like to spend some additional time outdoors after the picnic - many hiking trails, paddle boats at the lake, and a children's playground area - make it an afternoon of fun for the family!  We hope to see many of you at the picnic!  It will be a good time to chat and catchup with your fellow birders.

COVID and HRBC

The Hampton Roads Bird Club membership is encouraged to receive vaccinations and boosters related to COVID. The club suggests everyone use caution to safeguard against potential exposure to COVID by practicing distancing, wearing masks and other established protocols for avoiding pathogen exposure.  All members are encouraged to wear masks when inside at meetings and limit unknown

persons when carpooling. Most importantly any individuals feeling ill, with a fever, or any typical flu or cold-like symptoms should NOT attend meetings, field trips, or Sunday morning walks. It is up to all members to be mindful of the health of others by staying home when appropriate, and to employ their own precautions.
