3rd Annual Summer Picnic

The time for our 3rd annual summer picnic is almost here! Come spend a leisurely day at local alum Peter McDonald’s (’63) idyllic farm in Wilsonville — approximately 360 acres of working hazelnut and timber farm right on the west bank of the Willamette River.
Thanks to the McDonald’s generosity, we will soak up the sun while enjoying a barbeque feast, great company, and a range of activities including: swimming, tennis (please bring white shoes and your own equipment if you want to play!), ultimate frisbee, croquet, and free caricature portraits from alumni Naomi SegalDeitz (’74 ). Families and kids of all ages are invited and encouraged!
There will be plenty of food and entertainment; please feel free to bring whatever games and amenities you’d bring with you to a picnic, such as blankets or your favorite camping chair. (No pets please)
