SF Kiwis Annual General Meeting and Summer Picnic

Sunday July 26th – our usual date of the last weekend of July, so it’s usually nice and sunny, but not too hot… the SF Kiwis Summer Picnic and AGM is happening at our usual spot of the Carousel Picnic Area 35, Tilden Park, Berkeley, starting at 11AM to get the BBQ pits hot enough, for a big picnic spread to be devoured by all.

There will be loads of food from SF Kiwis, plus it’s the excellent good ol’ Kiwi pricing of free to attend, but please bring a plate, the more Kiwi flava, the better!. Bring the whole whanau, because we’ve got classic Kiwi kid games (although adult involvement is promoted), like the Gumboot Toss, 3-legged Race, Egg and Spoon Race, plus a lolly scramble with all-individually-wrapped classic Kiwi candies. There will be a raffle with some great prizes, to help with the rental costs etc, and after we’ve all had a great picnic lunch, a State of the Year address by our acting president, for the required Annual General Meeting for the non-Profit that we are, and then the games begin, and ending the early event with….. – the raffle draw!!

And we’re excited to tell all those that have been asking about… one of our most-liked annual event:
