you're possibly interested, I'd encourage you to fill it out!
Friends, partners and family are welcome on the Wiki-Train as well at the
same discounted rate, and their info should be filled in too, as long as
they plan to participate in WikiConference North America as well.

Weather is looking fine today for "the picnic anyone can edit" on Governors
Island, at Colonel's Row by ArtCrawl Harlem house from 2-7pm, as part of
the Great North American Wiknic celebrations (and Wikimania satellite
events) being held across the continent.
This is the first big summer Wiknic since the 2019 edition and will feature
an edit-a-thon focused on Governors Island and ArtCrawl Harlem, Depths of
Wikipedia (recently of perpetual stew fame), as well as plenty more food
topics drawing on the potluck ethos. All are welcome, new and experienced!

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct, and hope to
see you there!

the NYBG. This Saturday *free* 12p-3p. There will be a nature walk after
