MESSAGE FROM BORICUA GODDESS:
“My main objective: I always do this picnic on the last Saturday before classes officially resume as an End of Summer Break gathering. I do it this way to provide a neutral ground for EVERYONE to attend and enjoy. This is an awesome icebreaker as well. There is no need to “dress to impress”, no pressure of “one-on-one’ meetings, but most importantly, it’s a FAMILY event. No one needs to be left behind.
Be sure to RSVP to the event and invite all of your friends and family. This will be, as proven over the past years, an incredible event of music, poetry, visual art, food (bring food), dancing, conversations, networking, relaxing and appreciating life and loved ones as we partake in engaging those we know and establishing new relationships. EVERYONE is welcomed, so please do not hesitate to invite anyone and everyone you want. Bring your easels, your instruments (if you have any) – especially you drummers. Come on through sin pena; it’s going to be a memorable day as we bid farewell to the Summer. SEE YOU THERE!This is an awesome way to meet the people you’ve established relationships with over time over the line but have never had the chance to meet. This is also a great way of meeting new people and creating new relationships.
It’s always wonderful to share laughs, stories and great food (bring food), play games, dance, and create new stories for new memories.”

“Orchard Beach in the BX is always an absolutely beautiful and important event that I look forward to every year, and know that I will talk about when I am a viejito! LOL we typically have a large BBQ, live bomba musicians, poets, artists, singers, and many members of the community bring their children and even their pets.” ~ Papo Swiggity
