IT WAS A TIME for catching up on old times when friends got together for the annual NAACP picnic Monday.
The rain didn't deter about 40 members who came out and enjoyed grilled hamburgers, fried fish and hot dogs.
The organization also started plans for the annual L.D. Britt Scholarship Dinner, to be held at Scott Dozier Hall at Norfolk State University, on Sept. 27.
Britt is a local physician and civic leader.
Tickets for that event will be $30. ILLUSTRATION: Staff photos by MICHAEL KESTNER
