Picnic 2025
|
Dear CCI families and friends,
Since the CCI picnic date has already been declared and the food sneak-peek announcement during the last RRBB event highlighting goat meat (!!) went viral, we would like to open the picnic registration from today onwards without any more delay. The way we have been receiving overwhelming participation of CCI members in all the events that we have organized so far this year, we would like to make the upcoming picnic event a memorable one. This picnic will be organized as *Member Appreciation Day* and we will celebrate each other during the fun filled event accompanied with delicious food, games, adda, antakshari, and a lot more food again! As a give back opportunity to our members, the registration fee for the picnic event is going to be a token $ amount, to ensure we get the right counts of people participating thru registration to enable perfect planning and execution. For the CCI members community, it'll be 50% knocked down from expected cost. Thus, the token registration fee for adults is decided at $10 per person and, for the kids in most of the cases it's even lower. For non-members, it's held at cost. The detailed registration fees are as below - (please finish your registration at the earliest preferable thru zelle --> [email protected] and please mention the count of adults and kids as per the below segments, in the memo. If you choose to pay through check, please write your check to CCI. Similar to what we had to do for the last two events, we will have to stop accepting registrations once we reach our manageable capacity based on first come first serve basis). Members: Kids (<= age of 5 yrs) = Free Kids (> 5 yrs & <=12 yrs) = $5/person Adults and kids > 12 years = $10/person Non-members: Kids (<= age of 5 yrs) = Free Kids (> 5 yrs & <=12 yrs) = $10/person Adults and kids > 12 years = $20/person Schedule: Date: June 29, 2025 Venue: Gorman Park Address: 12153 Centerdale Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45246 Time: 9:30 AM onwards More details on activities and food will be shared by the respective teams. |
