Dear Members and Friends,

Join us for our annual GF Family Picnic, a wonderful evening of gluten-free food and fun at Buckland Park Lodge! Thanks to the generous support of Wegmans, we will be serving hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks, sides, and desserts purchased at Wegmans.

In the spirit of a picnic, bring a side dish or dessert to share! Is there something you miss having at picnics because of your gluten-free requirements? Make it and bring it along! Store-bought gluten-free items (from a grocery store or one of our wonderful local gluten-free bakeries) are also welcome!

To accommodate everyone as best as we can, we will provide labels for you to indicate any additional allergens in your dish. We are collecting this information from all attendees, so please alert us to any additional allergies in your party through this Google form: Google Form Link.

Activities:

  • Enjoy crafts and yard games for the kids and a nearby playground next to the pavilion!

Special Offers:

  • Free Wegmans Products: One set per family for those who RSVP through our Eventbrite page – goodies come in our awesome “My Bag of GF Goodies” tote!
  • “My Bag of GF Goodies” Tote Bags: Additional bags available for purchase at $5 each (cash only).

RSVP:
Through Eventbrite: Eventbrite page.

Volunteers Needed:
We’re looking for volunteers to assist with set-up, help during the picnic, and clean-up. Interested? Let us know when you through this Google form: Google Form Link.
