Each year the Northwest Freethought Coalition (NWFC) celebrates Independence Day and the recent arrival of summer with a potluck picnic. All NWFC group members, friends and unaffiliated freethinkers are invited to this event on Friday, July 3, 2009. Bring food to eat and to share. Drinks, plates, utensils, condiments are provided. The site includes a covered shelter, grills, 10 picnic tables and play area and trails nearby. Bring blankets, lawn chairs and games if you like. As always, good conversation is part of the day. Great raffle prizes will be awarded!
