Dear Member,

The 2026 Annual Picnic is officially on the calendar for Thursday August 6th, 2026 and we will be playing the first ever ECP Kickball Game!  Here is a rundown of the event. 

Picnic Location

The picnic will be held at the North Park Lilac Shelter from 6pm - Sundown. This shelter is directly next to the Northpark Pumptrack and Mountain Bike Skills area. Kickball to start at 7:30pm. The official monthly meeting business will be issued in the newsletter so we can spend our time having fun! 

Kickball & Potluck

To sign up for kickball and to participate in the potluck, CLICK HERE. There are two tabs: One for kickball and one for the potluck sign-up 

Kickball:

If you plan on participating, choose your team. You must bring both a BLUE and GREEN T-shirt just in case we need to equally distribute teams. We will be loosely following the official Word Kickball Association rules. If we do not have enough daylight to get to 7 innings, the team with the most points by sundown wins. Remember, we are playing for fun and just want to have a friendly competition where the winners have bragging rights until next year. 

Potluck:

Members are encouraged to bring their favorite potluck item to share. The club will be providing burgers, hotdogs, and non-alcoholic beverages to share.The club will also have a grill to share if you would like an alternative entree. We do have an alcohol permit, but alcoholic beverages are BYOB and can only be consumed within the pavillion.

Grillmasters:

We are looking for 2-3 volunteers to man the grill. Use the sign-up sheet to add your name to the list. 

Other Activities: 

Don't want to play kickball? That's perfectly fine! Members who do not want to participate are encouraged to bring yard games, ride bikes on the pump track or skills area, or simply hang-out in the pavillion. Pre-picnic activities also are welcome. If you would like to organize an activity, simply email the listserve who, what, when, and where - just make sure you make it to the picnic to socialize afterwards! 

NON-MEMBERS WELCOME! Have someone in mind who you think would like joining the ECP? Feel free to invite them!
