The Ramsey Lions will not be hosting the Community Picnic at Central Park this year.  The economy has had an effect on our fundraising efforts since last summer, prompting us to set new priorities for our community giving.  The number of "family hardship" requests has also continued to rise.

Thank you to all who have enjoyed our past picnics. We may consider hosting this event in future years.
