Brenda’s Community Birthday Picnic at Raccoon River Park!I’m turning 42 this year, and just like last year, I want to celebrate in the best way I know how—surrounded by community, love, and connection.
For most of my life, I lived in isolation, but over the past two years, I’ve been on a journey of building meaningful friendships and creating a community that feels like home. That’s why this birthday celebration isn’t just about me—it’s about all of us. Because we’re wired for connection, and we’re not meant to do life alone.
And it will bring me so much joy and happiness to be surrounded by love and community for my birthday- where were all having fun playing together! 💕
So join me for a laid-back, fun-filled picnic and barbecue at Raccoon River Park!
We actually have a shelter this time! Wohoo! The beauty of planning way in advance! 🥳
The shelter is the one closest to the beach and playground! Coneflower C
Here’s what to know:
• Bring a dish to share—let’s potluck-style this thing!
• Come ready to swim (weather permitting)
• Games will be set up! Volleyball and bag toss
• Bring your own chair or blanket, just in case
Whether we’ve just met, been friends forever, or you’re someone I haven’t met yet—I’d love for you to come! Let’s hang out, eat good food, make some memories, and just celebrate life and community together. 💕
The whole family is invited! 🥳
