We’re back to our regularly scheduled gatherings and for this month\, I thought we’d take it outside to soak up some much-needed Vitamin D! \nPlease join us on Sunday\, July 28th\, at Reckord Road Park under the Pavilion for a summer picnic. Come enjoy good food\, relaxation\, and meaningful connections with other BTF moms. \nAdditionally\, because the “Inspiration” boards were such a hit at our April gathering\, I will be bringing those supplies along with other craft projects for those feeling creative or inspired.\nLastly\, if you haven’t attended one of our gatherings yet\, I encourage you to join us! Surrounding yourself with the support and understanding of other BTF moms\, and cultivating friendships within our group\, is an invaluable tool and resource to help each other through this journey. Although our stories may differ or be at different stages\, the heartache and unique pain that come with losing a child are shared experiences that only we can truly understand. 💙 URL:https://brandontolsonfoundation.org/parent-event/9324/ LOCATION:Reckord Road Park Pavilion\, 800 Reckord Road\, Fallston\, MD\, 21047\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://brandontolsonfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/BTF-Moms-picnic-7-28-24.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Crystal Yamber":MAILTO:crystal@brandontolsonfoundation.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
