International Families Picnic - Chippewa Falls

If you have adopted internationally and live in the Western Wisconsin area, we have a wonderful opportunity coming up this summer for you! On Sunday, July 12th from 11:30-2:30 at Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls, we will be holding an International Families Picnic at the main pavilion. We will provide hot dogs, drinks, and utensils -- families can just bring themselves and a dish to share. We will plan to eat lunch right around 12:30.

There are many activities to enjoy at Irvine - a playground right by the pavilion, a small zoo, and a fun water fountain perfect for kids to cool off in! Not to mention the camaraderie of getting to know other families who share the international adoption experience.

If your family plans to attend OR if you have any questions, please email me (Christy) at creppe@cclse or call 715-832-6644 ext. 19. This will help us know how many hot dogs we need to plan on!

As an added bonus, we have Jen Schultz from Genesis Photography (who happens to also be an international adoptive mom) offering a WONDERFUL deal for Friends of Adoption families with a mini photo shoot! The details are below. Please check out her website for a taste of her photography, and call her at the number listed below to reserve a time slot for your child or family! I can not say enough good things about her work -- it is really extraordinary, and I hope many of you will take this opportunity to experience it for yourself.
