Maritime Picnic

Maritime Picnic

Sugar Land Memorial Park at 15300 University Blvd.

Sugar Land, TX

On Saturday May 3rd from 1000 - 1600

The Houston Branch of the Nautical Institute is having a picnic on Saturday 3 May 2008 and would like to invite other members of the maritime community to join us. Generally this is planned as a way for the maritime community to get to know the Nautical Institute and perhaps join. But more important is the opportunity for the Nautical Institute members to have fun with their families and to meet others in the area.
