I hope you, your family and friends can join us Saturday, July 16th, from 11-3 at Camp Angelos in Corbett, OR. Camp Angelos is also the site of Holt’s Oregon adoptee camp, which will begin the following day. (Day Camp, for parents and children ages 5-18, will be held July 20th.)

Holt’s camp counselors will be leading children’s activities at the Portland-area picnic.  They look forward to meeting you and your children!

Please bring a picnic lunch for everyone in your party. And don’t forget comfy shoes, as you may want to hike Multnomah Falls trails before or after the picnic.

Also, don’t forget about the Eugene picnic on Saturday, August 6th, at Camp Harlow. RSVP for the Korean BBQ lunch today or anytime before July 25th.

After the picnic lunch in Eugene, Holt adoptive father Daniel Freed – a.k.a. “The Amazing Spaghetti” – will perform a magic show for the children.

The Camp Harlow pool will also be open after lunch in Eugene.

For directions to the park or to print an invitation for others, please visit us online at www.holtinternational.org/picnics.

Holt International’s Annual Picnic in Portland — Saturday, June 28th, from 11:00a.m. – 3:00p.m. at Washington Park (in the Elephant House Shelter next to the playground equipment in the back of the park), in Portland. I hope you, your family, and friends can join us for a day of food and fun – all in the spirit of celebrating adoption. This year, Holt International’s President and CEO, Gary Gamer, will be there to spend time with families and present the Bertha Holt Award to Maria Copelan, in honor of her grandmother, Myrtle Croy, who was the second employee ever hired by Mr. and Mrs. Holt. Myrtle Croy was a familiar face at Holt’s annual picnics. Some may recall her blue Volkswagen Beetle pulling up to the picnic site year after year – Maria hopes to drive it to the picnic this year as her grandmother would have done. We are honored for this opportunity and hope you can join us in celebrating Myrtle Croy’s memory of serving Holt for nearly 20 years.

Please bring a main dish or side dish to share for the potluck-style picnic lunch (enough to feed 4-6 people). You might also want to bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket to ensure there are enough options for where to sit. Holt International will provided bottled water.

We will also have an informal meet-and-greet time for new and prospective families to meet Holt staff and ask questions about our adoption programs, so please invite anyone you know who is considering inter-country adoption. We have exciting information to share about the China Child of Promise Option Adoption Program as well as the Ethiopia Program and others.

If you would like to volunteer at this Holt Family picnic event, contact Sally Dunbar at 1-888-355-HOLT
