The last SSC Summer Picnic before we get absorbed by central IT. ;_;

Big crowd made it out, I think at least 50 people, if not more. Tons of SSC alumnus as well as friends came, including several UCLA Staff Assembly past presidents (Walen, Lucy, Michelle), Dean Valenzuela, and many current and former SSCERT staff.

Had a massive feast along with a competitive basketball game, no new injuries (I think-- when you're over 40 it matters!), and was great to see everyone. Of course, special thanks to Joe for all the grilling-- and great to see so many of us out with the families.
