I have the AWESOME opportunity to co host this picnic with a few area bloggers. Myself along with Ilina Ewan Dirt and Noise, Molly Gold Go Mom!, and Amanda Peel Manda Blogs About will be hosting this wonderful event. The date is Friday June 11, 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Moore Square.
Here is a link to Moore Square on Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=moore+park,+raleigh,+nc&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=NLYGTKrSGMPflgf3o62HCw&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&ved=0CAYQ_AU
Come one, come all! All area bloggers are invited, please tell your friends, family and bring the kids! We’ll have tons of fun, Hebrew National Hot dogs, friends and we’ll be doing a community service project. Good Music, Activities will include GIANT puzzles, a mechanical bull, amongst other activities for all to enjoy!
Our service projects are as follows:
1) In-kind diaper donation drive to benefit local Help A Mother Out organizations. Please bring diapers with you to donate at the Picnic!
2) “Sibling Kits” to donate to local hospitals Wake Med Children’s and Duke/UNC Children’s
We will decorate canvas bags and write a note of support to put inside. Then we will fill the bags with appropriate toys and activities. The siblings of hospitalized children rarely receive activity kits of this type while they wait at the hospital and we’ve determined an unmet need is taking a little extra care of the other kids in the families, too. We are very excited about this project.
There is an opportunity to make in-kind donations for the sibling kit project, as well.
Suggested items to donate for sibling kits for children’s hospitals:
stickers
crayons
colored pencils
paint by number kit
activity books (like word find, connect the dot, etc.)
coloring book
plain drawing paper
yo-yo
Playdoh
notepad and stamper
playing cards
comic books
Thank you! Join us! You can RSVP through Hebrew National’s Facebook page if you like: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=131525146863643

Ok, so while you go and plan that Hebrew National picnic (which are my FAVORITE hotdogs, and I am SO sad I live in LA and can’t attend)…I’ve been very busy with my social networking lately!
Which brings me to the reason for this post:
I am really very sorry that this is a form letter 🙁
However we spent days following everyone on the Simply Follow list from the Mom Bloggers Club, and out of 690 people, maybe only 10 followed us 🙁
I don’t know if you joined our blog or not, but if you have a moment, could you PLEASE go over to http://www.kiboomu.blogspot.com and give us a quick follow?
Again, sorry for this form letter, but I am going to to back to ALL 690+ people that we followed and leaving this note. Hopefully we will get a super great turnout now!
BTW I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!
XOXOXO
Wendy
Oh, what a great idea!
I will have to see if I can come. I don’t have a sitter for that day, so I’d have to bring all 3 of my boys on my own…it might be a bit much. I’ll have to see what I can do!
An excellent event. I will post the info on my mom group @trianglemommies. Hubby said maybe he can sneak out of work to attend.
