The food was wonderful and the games were entertaining, but
everyone agrees the very best part of the events was the fellowship the
CHI Friendship community experienced by spending the day with
family, friends, and staff members.
"I helped set up the Fargo picnic, and I got to enjoy the Grafton
Picnic with my family," said Michael Mackey, a person supported by
CHI Friendship. "This was the first time I've been to a Family Day Picnic
with my family. It was great to see them experience it for the first time."
"It's about relationships—participating in the picnic as a family or
with friends," said Leslie. "The interaction between each person we
support and their loved ones is priceless to see—the affection and
relationships they have with one another is just simply breathtaking."
Stay tuned for news about the 2018 CHI Friendship Family Day
picnics planned for next summer.
