Family Culture Picnic & Dinner!

We ARE having our Ethiopian Culture Picnic and Ethiopian Dinner on Saturday, July 28. We have modified things a little bit this year and will be making a more laid back picnic style event but we are still having our wonderful Ethiopian cultural emphasis. We will be at the same location for the day (12:00 - 4:00 pm) on the campus of Athletes in Action, Xenia, OH, but will be holding our dinner at the Faith Community United Methodist Church in Xenia. Join us for hair braiding, merkato, coffee ceremony, relaxed family fun and more time to meet other families! You don't want to miss! 


Traveling from out of town? We still have very comfortable accommodations in the air conditioned clean rooms of the dorms at AIA with a breakfast provided the following morning. (Room charge is $46/room). 


Cost
Family rate for the picnic of $40, a $12 dinner fee for anyone 4 years & over
Room charge (if you join us over night) of $46 per room.  


Hope this information helps you to make plans to join us! Registration form will be available soon!
