FCC Picnic

Our second annual FCC Westchester Picnic at Croton Point Park was a huge success. The weather report was iffy, but luckily there was no rain until everything was packed up and we were on our way home. We had lots of fun activities for the kids including jewelry making, burlap sack races, kickball, a clown/face painter/ magician and lots of great food. Everyone brought a dish to share and we provided the hamburgers, hot dogs, and water. We had to cut off registration at 128 people because the permit only allowed for 125 on the site. We had the same location as last year, right on the river and between the beach and playground. We were joined by several teachers and their families from the Huaxia Chinese School where some of the membership attend. A few OCA and Evergreen Association members also attended.

It was also nice that Deb, Cindy, and Paige joined us. Cindy and Paige live out on Long Island and we only see them a couple of times a year when they come to visit Deb. Last year, they joined us at the Fall Festival at Muscoot Farm. The next day was Katerina's birthday party and Paige joined us. Paige is adopted from Russia and knows she shares something in common with Katerina and the other Chinese adoptees, but she knows that they are from China and she is from Russia.
