Be mindful of the COVID risk. It's still with us with new variant(s) and a summer surge. Some of us may choose to wear masks.
Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test. It could be flu or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable. Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it! Thanks for taking care of each other.
This is an indoors-outdoors sketch-out, depending on the weather. We will meet at 10 am in the covered area outside the front doors to the store. For those who want to start early, the store opens at 9am. There is also a cafe inside

Wright
Park is 27 acres of arboretum, ponds, play/spray grounds and botanical
gardens surrounded by some fine old neighborhood architecture… plenty of
interesting sketch sites. In case of rain, we will be able to sketch
