Great food, and a great way to get off-campus for a little while. Enjoy BBQ, a campfire, and then a trip to Vic’s ice cream shoppe in Spencerport afterwards! Please RSVP to  Bratt_Jonathan@roberts.edu. You can drive yourself so that you can come and stay as long as you’d like OR carpool in a Roberts van. If you need transportation, please email Myrthil_Brenda@roberts.edu. We will depart from the Garlock parking loop at 5:20pm and will return to campus by 8pm.
