June Freethought Picnic

Join us for the June Freethought Picnic at a new Location! We will be at the new Lake Owasso Park Shelter which looks pretty nice. It has a serving counter with electric outlets, two grills, bathrooms across the road, and a "large nature playground" adjacent to the picnic shelter.

We will celebrate Pride at our picnic as we have in the past and we will donate $5 per attendee to an organization called RECLAIM. All you have to do is attend!

RECLAIM's mission is to increase access to mental health care for queer and trans youth so they may reclaim their lives from oppression in all its forms. They are one of the only organizations in Minnesota that offers financially accessible, specialized mental health care to this population. https://www.reclaim.care/

PICNIC: will be a potluck. If you can, bring an item to share. We can bring food items of all the colors of the rainbow! If you don't feel comfortable partaking in a potluck feel free to bring food just for yourself or just come for the camaraderie. You are welcome to arrive early if you want to fire up one of the two charcoal grills that are available, we have the shelter reserved from 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM.

Location: Lake Owasso Park Shelter, 370 Owasso Blvd N, Shoreview MN 55126

The atmosphere of this event is very social and energetic, rain or shine. Please feel free to bring yard games or table games.
