Were you "informed" by management, or peers?
I'm assuming that you are administrator of some sort, and organizing the picnic would be expected in that position...? Either way, I think there are laws about that ~ the necessity to accommodate disabilities . . .
As a compromise, I wonder if you could offer to do more then your share of organizing the function, and someone else can pick up your end of the beer slinging?
