David & Jen (Site 198) will be hosting a fundraiser benefit picnic on August 29 for David's sister Lisa, whose house in Milford CT was destroyed by a fire on June 22. Although there were no injuries, the house was a total loss, and a pair of dogs were unable to escape. Lisa and Jen shared the house with the house owners, so while the eventual rebuild will be covered by the homeowner's insurance, a lack of renter's insurance means that all items such as clothing were not covered. They have since found a place to stay not too far from the original house, but have been trying to furnish the home, as well as rebuilding a wardrobe. The WFSB Channel 3 newslink is attached here. http://www.wfsb.com/news24005297/detail.html . We will be hosting a picnic on Sunday, August 29 at our site during the afternoon hours. Jen is in charge of the details, but I think the plan is to suggest a donation of $10 for a classic burger. I will try to get more info posted soon. Thanks to those who have already made a donation, as they will not be present for the picnic, which will run from 3pm-6pm. Looks like great weather for the long-term forecast!!
