Please join your friends and neighbors for the annual Burleith Summer Picnic scheduled for Saturday, June 15, 4–7 pm at the Green Lot (Whitehaven and 37th). There will be live music, Rocklands BBQ, a raffle, activities for children, and much more. Dignitaries such as Councilmember Brooke Pinto will attend. We do not have an alternate date, so let’s hope we will not be rained or smoked out!

The BCA’s beautification committee hopes to have the first neighborhood welcome sign for display, and with luck, even installed by then. We will most certainly be fundraising for this initiative at the picnic.

Big thanks go to our two co-organizers, Lenore Rubino and Melanie Gisler, as well as to all volunteers from the BCA Board and the neighborhood. On that note, we are in need of some additional volunteers for various tasks: Posters announcing the picnic—putting up and taking down around the neighborhood; set-up (from 2/2:30 onwards); take down/trash and recycling (from 6:30ish) If you are able to take on one of these tasks, please email Melanie: m.gisler@comcast.net.

This event is sponsored by the Burleith Citizens Association and is open to BCA members and other Burleith residents. Stroll down memory lane with these photos from the 2018, 2016, and 2015 picnics.
