Please join us for a Harvard Club tradition, the Annual Picnic. Connect with fellow alumni, meet members of the Harvard College Class of 2021 and incoming graduate and professional school students, enjoy great food (friendly to vegetarians as well), and learn more about the Club. The picnic is free.

 

Date and Time: Saturday, July 29, from 12 noon to 3:30 pm.

Location: Luther Burbank Park Picnic Area B, 2040 84th Avenue SE, Mercer Island,WA 98040 (Directions below)

 

 

The cookout is free, and there will be plenty of summertime standards like burgers, hot dogs, and sodas. Please bring a dish to share. If you are so inclined, you may proudly display your culinary prowess by bringing a homemade seasonal cookout favorite. The time crunched (or less daring) are free to exercise those shopping skills and share snacks, a salad, or dessert. Please bring serving utensils, if needed, for your dish (but no sharp knives).

 

Seating: â€‹please bring a beach blanket or camp chairs as on-site seating is limited.

 

Alcoholic beverages: prohibited at Luther Burbank Park. 

 

All alumni, students, parents, and guests are welcome, so bring your family and friends. We hope to see you there!

We are SEEKING VOLUNTEERS to help set up, work the grill, or clean up. We are also looking for coolers and folding tables. To volunteer, please contact Alexis.
