Sid- I don't want to take on too much as I already have a lot on my plate this summer- but if we can keep it fun and kid friendly then I am more likely to be able to participate. Maybe we could start with a potluck and games night at Victoria Park on the 26th? Bring some food to share and a game to play- that way we can just have fun and get to know each other a bit before we get into meatier stuff...?
How do i find out about the May 26 event? Where is it posted?
