CHESS Summer 2023 Monday Meet-Ups!
Weekly Family Fun: Picnic in the Park & Summer Book Study
MONDAYS 6:00-8:00pm
Grand Woods Park
EXCITING NEWS: CHESS has reserved the Grand Woods Park pavilion (4500 W. Willow Hwy) every Monday evening from 4:00 - 9:00pm, from June 12 to Aug. 28—JUST FOR HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES! It has a small kitchen, a large room and lots of picnic tables both inside and out, along with charcoal grills for cooking. There is a ball diamond, restroom facilities, and a playground nearby. Plus all the amenities below—fun & adventures for all ages!! Even if the weather isn’t ideal, the pavilion seats 100 inside so we can still gather there.
Here’s the plan: Pack a picnic supper and come to the park on Monday evenings this summer! Come when you can-- Don’t worry when you can’t… After dinner, at 7:00, some weeks dads will play with kids while moms discuss their book; some weeks moms will play/supervise while dads meet… Bring the whole family— all ages! Fun, fellowship, friends, and even a summer study for Mom & Dad!
