Event Details

Coming off a very successful BBQ in the South Bay, the Columbia Alumni Club of Northern California is hosting another BBQ this summer.  But, this time, it's in the East Bay!

You and your family are invited to come to Tilden Park in Berkeley for a fun BBQ on Saturday, July 23.
We have the Carousel picnic area reserved, and, as the name suggests, this picnic area is adjacent to the Merry-Go-Round, which will be a fun thing for the kids.  In addition, in the early afternoon, we can organize a caravan to ride the Tilden Steam Train. 

Tentative Schedule
------------------
11:00-12:00 : Meet Other Alumni & Eat
12:00 - 12:45: Carousel ($2.00 per ride)
1:00 - 1:30 : Steam Train  ($2.00 per ride.  Free: Under 2 years)

We will provide traditional BBQ food (hot dogs, burgers, simple snacks for the kids, and disposable tableware). However, if there are specific snacks you would like for your child please feel free to bring them along. 

If you're interested in volunteering, we are looking for one or two volunteers to be Greeters and Grillers (your ticket will be complimentary -- please contact Rod Brathwaite). :-) 

Rod Brathwaite is the host of this event. For questions and suggestions, please email him at rod.brathwaite@columbiaalum.com
