Ice Cream Social Saturday 8/4!

Dear Nashville MAUmas & Friends,

Now that summer is here, it's time to let loose and have some good family fun with an ice cream social!!



We've built a strong community of mothers (and others) over the past year, so let's gather to celebrate what we've achieved with the Nashville Mothers Acting Up community on the anniversary of our Mobilize the Mamas play & action groups and revel in the friendships we've come to cherish. Bring the dads, partners, grandparents, friends -- it's open to all! Strangers are just friends we’ve not just met and Nashville MAU welcomes and celebrates families of ALL kinds.

When? Saturday, August 4, 3:00pm

Where? Red Caboose Park playground and picnic shelter, off Hwy 70 at 656 Colice Jeanne Rd in Bellevue

What can I bring? Your sweet selves, and an ice cream topping or accompaniment to share, if you are able. Nashville MAU will provide both dairy and vegan ice cream options as well as bottled waters, cones / bowls, spoons, and napkins.



You may also wish to bring acoustic instruments and outdoor toys to share such as parachutes, lawn games, balls, and so on.

Red Caboose Park, for those of you who haven't been there, is a giant, community built playground. It is completely enclosed by a fence (so it's safe for our smallest ones), has a real caboose the kids can climb on, nice indoor bathroom facilities, a large grassy area (Frisbee anyone?), and a picnic shelter for parties such as ours.

We hope to see lots of you there!



Please share this invitation as you are so led, and RSVP to Kate as you are able by Friday August 3 so we’ll know how much ice cream to provide: kzwingate@yahoo.com OR (615) 352-8718
