OUR LARGE GROUP SPRING PICNIC IN THE PARK W/SOFTBALL!!
This is a two part event, please read through all the details. I have 2 city permits for us!
GROUP PICNIC & SOFTBALL GAME-2 EVENTS IN 1: (Pls DONT RSVP if you havent paid. Lets be fair to the ones that paid and the limited spots for this event.)
EVENT 1: PICNIC: Start time at Noon!
The Ross Pinetum on the west side near 86th St. (SEE MAP BELOW) (City permit is from 12-5:30PM
CLICK HERE FOR THE MAP:
Rather than attempting to do a barbecue for a group this large I am having this picnic catered for us.
I first called Brother Jimmys, love that place, but they wanted $37. per person to do an all out catering; rental of 2 staff members, clean up, delivery, etc.. I then called another place and got what I was looking for, 10.00 per person, no staff, we clean up ourselves, and they deliver! Bingo, thats us!
This includes food trays filled with pasta, chicken, meat, fish, rice, salad and fruit. Plates, napkins, utensils, too. As a gift to the group I will provide all the soda/water for the group.
Once the majority of the group is with us I will make one phone call and have the food delivered to us nice and warm. The picnic will be in Central park's picnic area.
If folks want to bring deserts to share with the group that would be great. Also if we have any guitar players, or Violin, flute, etc,, come on down. Bring your pet as long as the pet can get along with others.
PICNIC WILL BEGIN AT NOON TIME, PLEASE DONT BE LATE!
EVENT:2 SOFTBALL Start time approx 2:00PM
CLICK HERE FOR THE MAP:
The Great Lawn Softball Field #6 (SEE MAP BELOW) (City permit is from 2-5:30pm)
Approx start time for softball is 2pm (ish)
I will post the exact locations with diagrams along with my cell number so that everyone can find us very soon.
The event will begin with a group social picnic beginning at noon, those that want to stay in the Picnic area can stay till 5:30pm. Those that want to play softball once we finish eating can join us at The great Lawn (field #6)
I picked this specific picnic area and softball field because they are within walking distance from each other. I have a few bats, ball, gloves, please bring a glove, a bat if you have some. Or just come to cheer and watch!

To Mitch and Eddie who brought in extra laughs, THANK YOU! To our first baseman, Laura, who played a kick a$$ first base THANK YOU! Last but certainly not least, HUGE thanks to all 22 of you who joined us on this beautiful day AND made this event such a big hit.

“ fun as well as a great workout(softball) ” -
“ The weather was perfect and the people were really nice and fun. Once the organizer showed up, we were able to eat lunch, socialize, and play softball. The softball event was by far the most fun part of the event. Everyone was light-hearted, outgoing, and supportive of each other, no matter what the skill level. I was so happy to have had such a perfect day enjoying food, sports, and meeting new people. ” -
“ I had a great time, thanks Eric. ” -
“ Once we were actually able to find ourselves, it was the most wonderful time. I haven't played softball since grade school, practically, but our team captain (Taimak) was able to get us all, no matter our skill level, to put in our best -- and everyone on both teams was so supportive and encouraging, that it really didn't matter how good or how bad we were. The objective was to have fun, and fun was had by all. Can't wait to see how all the pictures turned out! To tell you how much fun we had, nobody seemed to remember what the final score was -- although of course I tell everyone that we creamed the opposition :) Thanks, Eric, and thanks to everyone else for helping to make my Memorial Day, memorable :) ” -
