June Potluck
1009 Clarksburg Way, Modesto, CA 95355
Please join your fellow Yokuts members at the home of Doug and Judy Hardie for our annual potluck gathering. Bring your own service (helps cut down on trash), whatever you would like to drink and a dish to share. Please bring a lawn chair as well. Doug and Judy have a welcoming backyard and pool. It’s a great time to visit with fellow Yokuts. If you know some non-Sierra Club members who are interested in environmental issues please bring them. There will also be a plant exchange featuring some of Doug’s offerings as well as plants from members who want to share. Please mark your calendars for this one. Hope to see you there.
