BWI of the Bay Area's Baywide Summer Picnic, 2016!

Join BWI-BA for a family picnic at Castro Valley Community Park on Sunday, August 21, 2016! If you've been to one of our previous picnics, remember this is at a different location! All family members and friends are welcome to party with us. (Sorry, the park does not allow dogs.) Meet babywearers from all over the Bay Area and try on carriers from all of our libraries. This is the only time each year when ALL 11 of our subchapters will have their libraries in one place! VBEs will be available to help you with your own carrier or one of our library carriers.

We also have a bunch of carriers that we need to distribute between the libraries! Help us figure out where they go and lobby for your favorite to be in a library near you! We’ll be playing some games to help us decide, you won't want to miss the hilarious things we come up with for your amusement!

There is a big site with lots of tables this year, but bring a blanket if you want to sit on the nearby lawn. Don’t forget a towel for the splash pad! We request that you also bring your own reusable plates, utensils, and cups, and napkins for eco-friendliness.

You can let us know what you’re bringing and see what others are bringing to the potluck below. A yummy, babywearing-themed cake may be on the menu! Google form: https://goo.gl/forms/EClNfuV5WQKn5MDq2 Google sheet: http://tinyurl.com/baywidepotluck

(The google form is easier to see on mobile devices, the google sheet shows what everyone else plans to bring!)

This event will also include our annual membership meeting. Learn about what we've been doing and what plans we have for BWI-BA. This is a great opportunity to talk to BWI-BA's leadership about your thoughts and ideas, what it takes to become a VBE, other ways you can volunteer, and any other administrative topic that are on your mind.

If you are a dues-paying BWI member you should have received an email with information about the election of the Board of Directors. If you did not, please contact us at bayarea@babywearinginternational.org.

We can’t wait to see you!
