Our apologies if anybody was missed.

Many thanks to the staff at the Serbian Picnic Grounds, who have worked with us in the past and have always treated us great.

Thanks to the Herald-Star, The Weirton Daily Times and WTOV-TV for the coverage given us.

Thanks to the entire 25-Year Club committee. These men and women work tirelessly every year, all year long, to put on this picnic. Their only reward is seeing more than 500 of their fellow co-workers enjoying good food and good fellowship during a summer afternoon.

God bless, and thank you all.

Ron Baker

President,

25-Year Club
