It’s time again for CIR’s annual potluck picnic!  And this year we will be convening at a new location – the patio of the Eldorado Community Center (directions below).
.
As usual, CIR will provide plates, forks, spoons, knives, napkins, plastic glasses and bottled water.  You will pack a personal picnic for yourself, and if you’d like, bring a dish to share with others.  (If you have prepared a dish to share, please bring a serving dish and utensil for it.)  Alcohol is permitted.  You may bring your own preferred beverages (with openers).

RESERVATIONS:  This is a free event, but we still need to know who is coming and how many so we can provide nametags, adequate table service, etc.  So, please let the CIR office know if you are planning to attend by calling  982-4931 or email:  sfcir@newmexico.com.

DIRECTIONS:  The Eldorado Community Center is 15 minutes from downtown Santa Fe.  From I-25, take the Hwy 285 Exit #290 going South towards Clines Corners.  Immediately after exiting the freeway, turn right at the first light onto Avenida Amistad.  Follow Avenida Amistad until you arrive at La Hacienda Loop on your right.  Parking is in front of the Community Center, the picnic will be on the patio at the back of the building.
