Families Connect At Summer Picnic

The energy and excitement of over a hundred people who attended our Summer Family Networking Picnic was wonderful to see yesterday. Families connected with other families while enjoying a dinner in the grassy backyard of our main office. The many smiling kids walloped the piņata, spent time in the mist tent, enjoyed arts and crafts and bubbles, and participated in many other fun-filled activities!
