Washington DC, USA • Connect & Reset: Fall Picnic in Park
Join us for a fall picnic in the park — a chance to get outside, connect, and reset before it gets too cold! We'll share food, socialize, and set intentions for the season ahead 🍂
🧺 What to bring
A snack or dish to share (we'll have sparkling water and other non-alcoholic drinks available), plus a blanket or folding chair if you'd rather not sit on the ground
🤗 Who it's for
Bloomers and non-Bloomers alike; anyone in or around the social impact space. Feel free to bring a friend or plus one!
📍 Where
Find us in the lower lawn / SE area of Meridian Hill Park (aka Malcolm X Park), closest to 15th and W Streets. Look for a blanket and sign that says The Bloom!
