I am pleased to announce our fourth annual picnic, the Great American Wiknic, will take
place at Meridian Hill Park in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, July 13 from 1 to 5 PM (rain
date: July 20). We will be hanging out by the statue of Dante Alighieri, a statue that was
donated to the park in 1921 as a tribute to Italian Americans. Read more about the statue
on Wikipedia. If you would like to sign up for the picnic, you can do so here, or you
could email James Hare at james.hare at
wikimediadc.org. When signing up, say what you’re
going to bring!
July will also feature the second annual Great American Wiknic in Frederick, Maryland.
This year’s Frederick picnic will take place on Sunday, July 6 at Baker Park. Sign up here
for the Frederick picnic.
What else is going on in July? We have the American Chemical Society Edit-a-Thon on
Saturday, July 12, dedicated to notable chemists, and our monthly WikiSalon on Wednesday,
July 16.
We hope to see you at our upcoming events!
