Freethought Rainbow Picnic
Celebrate Pride Month with June’s Freethought Picnic!
Sunday, June 16 at Noon
Jaycees Shelter, 2540 Lexington Ave N, Roseville
Minnesota Atheists will donate $5 per attendee to an organization called RECLAIM (whether you’re an Ally or LGBTQ+ yourself). All you have to do is attend!
RECLAIM’s mission is to increase access to mental health care for queer and trans youth so they may reclaim their lives from oppression in all its forms. They are one of the only organizations in Minnesota that offers financially accessible, specialized mental health care to this population. https://www.reclaim.care/
PICNIC: will be a potluck. If you can, bring an item to share. We can bring food items of all the colors of the rainbow! If you don’t feel comfortable partaking in a potluck feel free to bring food just for yourself or just come for the camaraderie. You are welcome to arrive early if you want to fire up one of the two charcoal grills that are available. We have the shelter reserved from 9:00 AM–3:00 PM.
Park in the parking lot off Lexington Ave N (it’s in line with Oakcrest Ave). Follow the trails eastward (away from Lexington) to the shelter, you can’t miss it.
The atmosphere of this event is very social and energetic, rain or shine. Please feel free to bring yard games or table games. There’s a playground close by.
