New Beginnings Invites You to Join Us for our ANNUAL FAMILY FUN PICNIC!

Attractions at the 2013 annual picnic include: bounce houses, slides, a D.J., raffle prizes, door prizes, and auctions. This year, in addition to those activities and prizes, children and parents alike will be thrilled to discover Mad Science; a live, educational performance featuring zany characters, steaming test tubes, and bubbling experiments (of course all in a safe and controlled environment).

Both families who’ve adopted through New Beginnings and families from the surrounding area are welcome to join in the festivities. Early Bird registration is in effect until August 23rd (after that the fee increases). Tickets are $35 for adults and children 10 and over, $30 for children aged 3-9, and $15 for children under the age of 3. “This year’s picnic is bound to be the best yet, that’s why we’re reaching out to invite the community. Not only will it be fun for everyone involved, the proceeds also support our mission to find orphaned children permanent, loving homes” said Liz Westermann LMSW, NB Allies Committee Chair.
