June 18th, 2011 marked a milestone for our department. Several years prior, ideas about bringing the families that we serve together at one place in hopes to bring camaraderie, a sense of community, and just the opportunity to enjoy each others company were consistently being talked about. Last year that dream materialized. Many wraparound clients both young and old were treated to a family picnic at Arcadia County Park located in Santa Anita, CA. A water balloon toss, time in the bounce house, musical chairs, the famous beanie baby game, a relay race, several raffle, and most importantly time w/ family both extended and immediate brought excitement and fun to all who attended. Several client’s who had graduated years prior were able to reconnect with their wraparound teams and current clients were able to enjoy the sun and share a new experience with their current wraparound team and meet other members of wraparound. This year is our “Luau” edition of the picnic and we hope that it bring just as much excitement if not more than last year. We have also extended this invitation to our RBS community families for even more people which should equal more fun! We’d hate for anyone to have to miss out on this once a year opportunity. Parents: Bring your favorite Picnic/Hawaiian Dish and enter our contest!!
