Perch Base held its Annual Picnic meeting on Saturday, April 9, 2022. This was the first picnic we have been able to have since COVID set in after the 2019 picnic!
We started with the Perch Base canopy, but the gusty winds forced us to take it down. Our Perch Base Commander, George Woods opened the meeting, Don Unser, our Perch Base Events Coordinator, led the invocation and read our purpose. The Chief of the Boat, Don Robertson, tolled the bell for the Tolling of the Boats Ceremony. George Woods then welcomed the 40 Perch Base members, families and guests, including some members from Tautog Base (Casa Grande) and White Mountain Base that joined us.
