Come join the dcmetrominis for a fun day of entertainment and prizes!!

Time: 9:30 am
Place: Dulles Town Center Mall - Hecht Company Parking lot

The mall is located on the left just off of Rt. 7 West in Countryside/Sterling VA.

We will start the Scavenger Hunt at 10:00. As soon as everyone returns, we will motor out past Leesburg to White's Ferry and take it across to Maryland. There is a charge for the ferry - one way is $3.00 and round trip is $5.00.

We have rented a Pavilion, which is covered and has plenty of picnic tables. Because the club is just getting started, we are asking for a $3.00 donation to help offset the cost of the Pavilion. This will be collected before the Scavenger Hunt begins.

The picnic setting is right along the Potomac River and C&O Canal. There are horseshoes and volleyball available. Also, bring Frisbees and footballs, as there is plenty of space for fun. Since this will be a picnic style lunch, bring whatever you want and even something to share, we know we all like to eat!!!

Also available are boat and canoe rentals if you want to play after the event is over. You can also walk along the C&O Canal path. There are bathrooms and port-a-potties on the property. There is a small snack bar with hot & cold food available. But I wouldn't recommend it as it is a small Mom & Pop type place - meaning slow. There are cold drinks available along with beer. Alcohol IS allowed on the property as it is privately owned, so bring it if you wish. While we don't encourage drinking & driving, a nice cold beer on a hot day might taste just dandy!

This is a great way to check out what dcmetrominis is all about. If you haven't registered for the club yet, you can do that if you wish at some point during the day. It's only $25. Later in the year we will be having "Member Only" events - so you don't want to miss out on the fun!!

So a reminder of things to bring: FRS radios (channel 7-21), a full tank of gas, wear your MINI stuff if you have some, $3 or $5 for the Ferry, picnic lunch and something to share (optional), $3 donation, and yourself...

RSVP here or send an email directly to me at donna@dcmetrominis.org. It's going to be a fun day one you won't want to miss!!

Chow!
