8th Annual Sand Day
Who: Families with young children, grandparents who enjoy seeing kids have fun, all Barcroft residents who like picnics on the beach
What: Games for children, food for all (sold by Newcomers Club)
Where: Beach 4
When: activities starting at 11:00 a.m., with organized games beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Why: The attraction is a truckload of sand delivered to the beach but not yet spread around. Kids can play in the sand and participate in games. Adults can act childish if they want, or simply enjoy spring weather and conversation with neighbors.
Youth leaders from the community will help run the games. They are seeking helpers ages 11 and up to run the games for children in three age groups: 2 - 4 years old, 5 8, and over 9.
For more information contact Lisa Levine at llevineny@verizon.net
Adults are needed to help with the sale of picnic fare such as hamburgers, hot dogs, Italian sausage, chips, sodas, bottled water, juice boxes and cookies. For further information contact Newcomers Club president Miranda Thomas (703-942-5775).
Rain date is May 11, and if the event is postponed from May 10 there will be an announcement posted on LakeLink.
