SAST Second Annual Summer Picnic
(July 7, 2006)

On July 7th, SAST held it's Second Annual Summer Picnic at Tilden Park. This year's awesome turnout nearly doubled the headcount from last year's picnic, which allowed for a formidable selection of picnic foods that included Bala's secret samosas (whose secret turned out to be that he bought them from Vik's Chaat House) and of course Pat's famous guacamole. Other highlights included BBQ Chef Andy dropping the boca burgers into the grill, and a large spider crawling up Chris's leg. SAST hopes that this year's successful picnic foreshadows an even larger turnout for next summer's picnic. (view pictures of the event)
