CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF OUR NATION WITH US AT BEAUTIFUL LAKE BENSON PARK ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 3! Join us for an evening of fun featuring a headlining performance by the North Carolina Symphony. The Coordinator will arrive around 5:00 p.m. to find a spot for our group near the vendors and not too close to the stage (we’re rowdy, you know!). To find us in the crowd, the RSOC banner will be displayed; but, you can text the Coordinator to help zero in on our group.
We’ll potluck-it; so, bring food to share with everyone. Top off your evening with the best fireworks show in the Triangle. Please sign-up at the June meeting, or e-mail the coordinator to let her know you plan to attend.
