CORAL will provide a main meat dish along with potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans and beverages. Attendees are asked to bring a side dish to share. The picnic will occur rain or shine at shelter seven, located southwest of Lincoln Park’s Nelson Center. Since 2002, CORAL has operated in Springfield as a grassroots organization. Membership is free and open to all members of the LGBT community and its allies. Throughout the year, CORAL hosts a variety of fundraisers in support of their annual membership events including Springfield PrideFest in May, a Thanksgiving dinner in November and the Pride picnic in June.
