Watch this space in the case of inclement weather - we'll share our rain plan if it looks like we can't meet at the park!

In one week, join us for the Plagiarists Picnic in the Park! We'll be at Winnemac Park from 12:00-4:00pm on June 8th, with some sandwiches and snacks. Please feel free to bring a dish to share, we just ask that any dishes be nut-free for our friends with allergies.

This week we'll also be formulating a rain plan just in case - stay tuned, we'll be posting here if we decide to move the party indoors!

You're invited! Join The Plagiarists for one last event - a Plagiarists Picnic in the Park!

We'll be posted up at Winnemac Park from 12:00-4:00pm on June 8th (weather permitting) with some sandwiches and snacks. Feel free to bring a dish to share, though we ask that dishes be nut-free for the sake of our friends with allergies.

We hope to see you at the park in a couple of weeks!
