The registered names will be on a badge waiting for you to pick up when you enter the Tuscany lobby and printed tickets will not be provided in advance. Your check for your registration will be deposited no earlier than March 1. If you register too late, you will be notified, and your check will be shredded.

* Many surprises await the party goers including a new format photo booth.

Judy Hart
Oregonians, former Oregonians, or anyone who can correctly pronounce OREGON—this is your chance to get together! PebbleCreek’s annual Oregon State Picnic will be Sunday, March 24 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Sunrise Park.
This spring event has been going on for nearly 20 years, and it’s been a great opportunity to renew existing acquaintances and make new friends. Every year old friends discover each other—people from the same neighborhood in Portland, former classmates from Roseburg High school, OSU and UO alums. There is no charge for attendance, and Oregon ID is not required. There’s no better way to find “old” friends than at your annual PebbleCreek Oregon State Picnic!
As in years past, bring your own chair, your own beverage, and an appetizer to share. Plates, utensils, and napkins will be provided. Find your place in the shade, hang out with friends, and prepare for the Annual Oregon Trivia Challenge!
Questions? Call Dennis and Cathy Howell at 623-535-7686 or Ross and Judy Hart at 541-747-4821.
