CSI Picnic Family Social & BBQ

You and your family are invited to attend our FINAL CSI 2009-2010 Series Chapter Meeting of the year before summer break. Join CSI at the Millcreek Canyon picnic area to socialize and mingle with other top Utah construction industry professionals and their families. This is a great opportunity to network and get to know other professionals on a personal level in a relaxed mountain setting.

This is a FREE catered event and best of all, CSI pays admission into the park. Attendees will enjoy good food, hiking trails, campfire and marshmallow roasting for the kids, fresh air, and beautiful nature for photography enthusiasts! CSI will also be giving awards to the top contributors of this year's highly successful chapter series.

Come meet-and-greet the outgoing CSI Board and Committees and say hello to the new incoming CSI Board of Directors taking effect on July 1st. CSI will be providing the main BBQ entree, but attendees are encouraged to bring and share any special side dishes their families like to enjoy (chips, drinks, salads, weiners, smores, etc.). This will be the final chapter meeting prior to summer break, and we'll begin the 2010-2011 CSI Chapter Series in September. The Millcreek Canyon picnic areas are just minutes from downtown SLC, we hope to see you there!
