We had SO much fun at our End-of-Summer Picnic!🙌🏻

We ate lots of food, played some games, had a surprise guest teammate for volleyball, ate donuts off a string😂 and raced to eat a pie the fastest with only our mouths! Had a chance to win some prizes, soaked up the sun, and even spent some time soaking in the river! (One of my fav parts!)

The weather finally cooperated, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day to laugh, relax, and enjoy time together. ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came, helped out, and made the day so much fun! It was the perfect way to wrap up our Passport to Summer Fun! ♥️

🌧️ PEN END-OF-SUMMER PICNIC CANCELLED TODAY 🌧️

Unfortunately, Mother Nature is not cooperating with us today! ☔️ Due to the heavy rain and wet conditions, we have made the difficult decision to cancel today’s PEN End-of-Summer Picnic.

We were really looking forward to spending a fun day together! ❤️ However, with the amount of rain expected and the condition of the pavilion grounds, we feel cancelling is the safest decision for everyone.

Please help us spread the word to anyone who was planning to attend!

Stay safe and dry, everyone! We’ll figure out another day for us to get together, where we get to spend it outside having fun! ☀️🕶️

🌞 Hello, August! 🌞

This month we're celebrating the 90s! We'll also be wrapping up summer with our End of Summer Picnic on August 20th. Stop in if you have any event questions!🎉☀️

Whether you're looking to laugh with friends, get creative, learn something new, or simply enjoy a welcoming place to belong, we'd love to have you join us.

📅 Be sure to check out our August calendar and mark your favorites!

**Side note!** Wisdom, Wonder, and Wellness was missing from the first calendar but we made sure to add it here! Wisdom, Wonder & Wellness is a philosophy group designed to spark curiosity, inspire meaningful conversation, and encourage personal growth. Each session explores thought-provoking questions about life, purpose, values, and the human experience. Through respectful discussion and shared perspectives, we'll deepen our understanding of ourselves and others while fostering connection, insight, and wellness. Hope to see you there!☺️

☕✌️ Nice Day Café was serving up some groovy flavors today! ✌️

We enjoyed a taste of the 70s with our themed coffee creations, from sweet and nutty favorites to smooth, mellow blends that were totally far out. Between the coffee, conversation, and good company, it was the perfect way to slow down and enjoy the day.

🌼 Good coffee. Good vibes. A groovy time all around.

✌️🌼 70s Month is Off to a Groovy Start! 🌼✌️

Today we turned back the clock with some classic hits from the 70s and put our music knowledge to the test with a lyric game where participants had to guess and sing the song from just a few words!

There were plenty of laughs, and good vibrations all around. Thanks to everyone who joined us for this far-out afternoon. We can’t wait to keep the fun rolling all summer long!
