My fellow Wiki-Americans,
We are entering Great American Wiknic season!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic
This year, we are encouraging usergroups and other informal groups to participate in the Wikimedia movement's Strategy Salon process, and Wikimedia NYC has microgrants of up to $250 available for four locations in the US, following this model:

To participate, please fill out the form here in the next week:

We we will reimburse your expenses upon approval of your application and getting documentation in receipts.
To have a Strategy Wiknic, you must select one or two of the "scoping questions" from the Working Groups and have a plan to document the results of your discussion:

You can see the NYC Wiknic scoping questions, as an example, here:

Feel free to ask any questions about this process, and share with your friends!
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
