Hi all, 

On further thought... I just went ahead and made a poll: http://doodle.com/poll/d3hgfgb2rmzgz4nz

If you are interested in having a wiknic, please fill this out to pick the date in July (and rain date) that works best for the majority of folks. 

best, 
Phoebe

Hi all, 

This year the Great American Wiknic is scheduled "for weekend dates in July, with a focus on July 9-10": 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic

This activity just involves having a picnic in a park somewhere, and inviting people to bring food and talk about Wikipedia! 

It looks like the Boston area hasn't had a summer Wiknic in a couple of years, but in the past this event has been on in the Boston Common. 

Would people be interested in getting together on Sat July 9 or Sun 10? If you're not around that weekend, would a later weekend in July work? We haven't had a general meetup in a long time either, so it could also be a good time to catch up and talk about plans for editathons and events for the rest of the year, and ideas that we all have for what to do next. 

Please discuss! If there's interest but no consensus on a good date, I will make a poll with various dates so we can gauge availability.
