Escape into nature and enjoy a delightful day at the new venue of our SPSCA Annual Members Meeting and Picnic at Lake Sammamish State Park’s Kokanee Shelter in Issaquah, WA, Sunday, August 17, from 1 to 4 pm!

This serene beautiful location is surrounded by towering trees and just a few steps from the lake, that offers a spacious and airy shelter, additional picnic tables on the lawn, and convenient parking (free with a Discover Pass or $10 per vehicle). With clean restrooms nearby and breathtaking natural beauty all around, it is an ideal place to relax and enjoy a summer gathering. The covered seating ensures comfort in any weather, and wine is allowed without special permits.

In addition to socializing with fellow lovers of Italian culture, we also elect SPSCA board members at the picnic, so your presence is especially important! Ensure your membership is active and tell us how you would like to participate, whether by helping with setup, carpooling, or sharing a dish or drinks. Join us for a day of friendship, delicious food, and fun in this picturesque outdoor setting! Please sign up here as soon as possible to bring a potluck dish and/or help with setup or cleanup!
