Annual Picnic at the Beach

Tuesday, June 20
5:00 - 8:30 pm
Greenwich Point


This Outreach sponsored summer party with families from Inspirica is an amazing experience with lots of joy and merriment. The fun starts at the second concession stand. Bring a blanket, some towels, and a bathing suit, and join in the seaside play. After everyone is thoroughly salty and sandy, we move to the clam bake area for a burger and hot dog barbecue and games. We’re finished by 8:30 pm.

Interested in helping out? We can always use another salad, side dish or drink, or just come and play with the kids! Sign up >

For more information, contact Lucy Rinaldi, lucyrina@optonline.net.
