    The sponsoring parties will be supplying a MINIMAL amount of food and eating supplies, but this is a POTLUCK after all, so bring your own food and drinks! Rod has a GINOURMOUS grill, so bring the dead animal or vegetable conglomerate of your choice.

    OTHER STUFF
    --------------------
    For those of your driving, Rod's address is:
    18 Crestview Dr, South Deerfield.
    It is not direct to go on the marathon route, so for your driving convenience, the mapquest directions are here
    For everyone NOT driving to Rod's house, try to arrange for a ride back to the department after the picnic is over. If this is not possible, rides will be available to get you back after the picnic.
    Previous years' stats are available here. A rain date has yet to be determined.
