A Precious Gift ARC's Annual Adoption Picnics

 

2007

Our first annual adoption picnic was held at Mary Lisa's home on Saturday, August 18, 2007.  Adoptive families, birthfamilies, children, and adoption workers were invited.  We had a wonderful turnout and the weather was beautiful.  Many birthfamilies came to see their children for the first time since placing them.  It was an emotional but happy and blessed day!  A special thank you to Mary Lisa's husband Scott for all his hard work in helping make this event a success!

2008

Our second annual adoption picnic was held at Gouldsboro State Park on Saturday, August 2, 2008.  Ninety four (94!) Adoptive families, birthfamilies, children, and adoption workers came.  Although the weather forecast called for showers all day (and the morning of the picnic was filled with thunderstorms and downpours), the grey skies turned blue at five minutes before noon and the sun warmed the whole day!  (God is great!)  We had another beautiful day filled with joy, love, fun and lots of good food.  The picnic grounds were beautiful... a huge clean pavilion set on Big Bass Lake.  Everyone loved it so we are hoping this will be the setting for all future picnics!

A very special THANK YOU... to everyone who donated monetarily toward the picnic... to everyone who showed up despite the weather forecast... to Tammy for the awesome cake and cookies... to Bernice for putting together all the name badges for everyone... and to Mary Lisa's husband Scott for all his hard work in helping make our second event a success!

Our third annual adoption picnic was held at Mary Lisa's home on Saturday, August 15, 2009.  Sixty (60) adoptive families, birthfamilies, children, and adoption workers came.  The weather was sunny and warm all day!  We had another beautiful time sharing joy, love, fun and friendship!  A very special THANK YOU to (1) everyone who donated monetarily toward the picnic (2) everyone who attended despite the low turnout compared to previous picnics, (3) Kim and Deb for helping with cleanup, and (4) Mary Lisa's husband Scott for all his hard work in helping make this event a success!  Without him, there would be no picnic!
