Queen's Bench held its Second Annual Family Picnic & BBQ on July 24th at Gabriel Park in SW Portland.  More than 35 people showed up to enjoy the camaraderie, free burgers and hot dogs, face painting, games, and wonderful homemade side dishes!  It was a welcome opportunity for the kids to play and members to talk and get to know each other in a beautiful park.  This will be a recurring event so make sure and watch for next year's date and join us for a wonderful time!
