The Annual Family Picnic was held on Thursday August 21, 2008

The annual Family Picnic was held on Thursday August 21, 2008 at the John Mann Pavilion Ft Dix New Jersey with 48 people in attendance. This Pavilion has an indoor/outdoor pool, batting cages, mini golf, super cooker, (very very large grill), a children's playground, horseshoe pits, sand volley ball court and a basketball court. All had a great time.

The squadron was formed and had its first meeting in August 2001. The meeting was held in the 94th Bomb Sqdn Restaurant in Fairfield, NJ. At that initial meeting (19 men attended) the frequency of meetings was voted to be every other month except February. Our meetings were moved to Charlie Brown's for a couple of months and then after some research the meetings moved to the Enlisted Club on McGuire AFB. In April of 2005 the membership in attendance decided to have a picnic in August.With the help of one of our USAF Retired members we held the first picnic at the JOHN MANN PAVILION on Fort Dix. The first picnic was held at this location in August 2005and the second in August 2006, the start of our sixth year. Four meetings on McGuire AFB (April, June, October and December) with an Annual picnic on Fort Dix. Our "significant other" is always included at our meetings. We always try to have a "tour" or a Speaker at our meetings to keep us up to date on the activities of the U.S.A.F. The annual picnic always includes our families, grandchildren, friends and neighbors.
