See all- Picnic On The SquareColony Square, Atlanta, GA$6.25
Let's get together for a picnic in Colony Square in Midtown! We will be Center Stage literally on stage, where we will have coverage from sun and rain. The picnic area will be decorated by the Colony Square picnic coordinators, so this should be cozy! Be there at noon to order your food, and the concession staff will bring the food to your picnic table.
There is a fee for this event. Colony Square Picnic partners with Gateway Center, and they are asking for a small donation of 6.25 per person for the coordination and decoration of the picnic area, and all proceeds go to the Gateway Homeless Shelter in Atlanta. THIS DOES NOT include any food you will be ordering. I have reserved two picnic areas for up to 16 Gen X women who want to attend. I'd love to meet some more women within this group, so come on out for some heat, food, meet & greet, and some cocktails, beer, or whatever libations of your choice!
UPDATE!!!!!
I have paid the donations. Two separate donations of 45.00. If you RSVP, please send you payment of 6.25 at that time. If you have RSVP’d and I idont get your payment, you will be moved off the list. The payment guarantees your spot!!
Please Venmo or Zelle the payment directly to me ASAP!

A little about Gateway Center ~# History
In 2002, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin asked the United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta to study the issue of homelessness in the city and provide recommendations on how to make substantive progress in moving individuals experiencing chronic homelessness into permanent housing. The result was a Blueprint to End Homelessness in Atlanta.
A major Blueprint recommendation was to establish a central point of care in metro Atlanta to meet the needs of those experiencing homelessness in a systematic and supportive manner. To that end, Jack Hardin led the initiative to identify a facility and raise funds that led to the development of Gateway Center, which opened July 27, 2005, and is now a self-managed 501(c)(3) organization. It serves as the gateway for the continuum of care for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness in the City of Atlanta and Fulton County.For more information on the United Way Regional Commission on Homelessness, please visit their site:United Way Atlanta – Homelessness.
**A chronically homeless individual is defined as a person with a disability who has either been homeless for more than a year or has had at least 4 episodes of homelessness in the past 3 years. The disability that results in homelessness may be mental, physical, or addiction-related.*CC
