Biznik Summer Picnic for the WHOLE Family!

Sounds like a great event for all concerned. I will try to attend.

Tammy, you are very brave to host a huge picnic...this sounds fantastic! So great to meet you at our Portland suitcase weekend. I'll try to make this...after all the Amtrak does stop in Olympia (we now know). Count me in on the vegetarian chili. Cheers. Susan

This is going to be freakin' awesome!

I can't wait to meet all the Bizniks from the greater Northwest here.

I'll bring Kugel!

Linda, I hope you are keeping in mind that, since this is a family event, each RSVP is lilkely for more than one person...

Yeah Susan!! So glad you are making the trip from Bellingham - Bring a car full!! It's going to be a lot of fun.

Thanks Russ, we will be emailing all who RSVP as we approach for their final head count.

Dan, hope you can make it too!

Hey, Tammy and Linda, thanks for putting this together. It is going to be so much fun! I'm bringing my Jane Brody potato salad with fresh dill and lemon-yogurt dressing.

Now we just need about 100 more people to sign up. Come on, everyone. This is going to be THE summer event of the year!

Ooof, I wish I didn't have to miss this! Looks like an awesome fun time!!!!!

who wants to carpool from seattle? :)

Hey eveyone let's get this filled up! Invite your friends and get the signed up! Fun for the whole family!

I just cross-posted this event on Facebook at: http://bit.ly/4ogwgU

Please consider inviting your Facebook friends to join Biznik.

I'm tentative. Sounds like fun!

@JoeHageOnline

Thanks, ladies, for organizing a fun, family-friendly event!

Anyone want to carpool from Bellevue, or Issaquah? Please email me if you do.

Hi all, I would love to be there but have another commitment for that week-end.

I'll certainly remember if it comes around next year so I can attend!!

This sounds like a good time, count me in! Looks like I need to bring some of my yummy pasta salad that day. Are there any other vegetarians coming that I should bring some non meat hotdogs or keilbasas? Let me know :)

Chris,

We are vegetarians and thought we would bring some Morning Star vegetarian Grillers, which we eat all the time. Your salad sounds delicious!

Anyone who has children and are trying to find ways to combine business and family this is the event to attend. you don,t want your kids to miss it.

I cross-posted the picnic on Biznik's Facebook pages today as well. Hopefully that will also draw some more attention.

Have you guys found a way to count the guests (spouses, partners, children) accompanying the Biznik members who are RSVPing?

The RSVP currently says 40, but if each person shows up with a +1 and a few little ones in tow, you'll easily exceed 100.

Just a thought...

I would like to carpool to this-anyone from Seattle?

Darn! I'm in Greensboro, NC that weekend. Sorry to miss the festivities! Have fun.

I see no carpools and am going to take an invitation to sail that day. Maybe you would have more signups if this was on the events page. I did not see it in the calendar. Have a great time!

Sorry, We wont be able to make it, my family reunion happens to fall on the same weekend!

Have fun you all!

What a great opportunity to meet the south enders and beyond!

Working on that carpool...still looking to catch a ride with someone :)

I'm going to try to change my plans around so that I can attend this fabulous fun day!!! Can talk about carpooling at the beginning of the week from Seattle. Thank you

As you noticed the little guy in the back; family is important to me. Having to be able to network and bring the family...that is awesome!

I look forward to meet with you Linda. For our head count: 2 adults and 2 little kids. Thank you!

Thank you Linda & Tammy. Look forward to meeting you both and of course everyone else who comes to enjoy the day. I hope to come with my spouse Michael. Love to carpool if possible.

Lovely seeing the surge of sign ups over the weekend. Please post your RSVP COUNT here in the comments section. That will give us a more than close guestimate on attendees.

Looking forward to seeing folks on Sunday!!

1 + 1 = 2 here

4 for us!

Five total including Terry, myself and our three girls. Can't wait sounds fun.

I'll be there.

~Cheryl Dixon, we finally get to meet in person!

~Russ Alman, we were introduced awhile back but not connected for more than a short message back and forth. I am looking forward to meeting you in person and making that connection.

CARPOOL anyone?

There will be three of us. Thanks...

I will have 4 total

~ Nancy: I look forward to sharing my Biznik community building experience with you. We've now tripled our Olympia area membership in the past 5 months, and are on target to pass 1,000 members by the end of the year!

~ Russ, I am very eager! See you soon!

1 for me!

There will be 2 of us. Thanks Tammy!

2 for me! Thanks Linda, hey I finally signed up!

Sounds like a wonderful time! Potlucks are the BEST! I'll see if my grandkids are available to come with us.

Thanks Linda and Tammy for organizing this!

Hey-- how many of we 'far norths' are going? Nancy in Marysville has suggested we carpool so let's think green here!

I may come with my adult daughter and my niece and nephew (both toddlers).

Total of two!

Forgive me if I missed any posted information already but I do have a few questions.

Is this a dog friendly picnic?

Are drinks (soda/water) provided?

Is beer/wine allowed?

I have spoken with several people who were also wondering so I figured I would be the one to ask.

Hello all I am offering a ride to anyone who is in the Seattle area. I have room for 2 or 3 more people I live on the top of Queen Anne
call me at 206-285-0766 Patricia

I would love to have attended this event to meet fellow Bizniks. I just found out my nephew returns from Iraq this day and we're having a welcome back dinner. I will try next year. Enjoy!

1+1=2 attending from me, I am bringing some pasta salad and some veggie grillers as well if anyone has any other requests just let me know. See you guys tomorrow!

Oh an my pasta salad has cheese in it, so I hope the vegans do not mind :)

Just the two of us.

Tammy I'm sorry to say I simply cannot justify the drive tomorrow. Just too much travel lately. Have a great picnic and post some fab photos.

The weather is great! Warm and sunny! Come on down!

Tammy and Linda,

I am sorry to have not shown up. Due to an "unforeseen circumstance" while on the road, I had to return home. I really wanted to be there.

~ Russ, please contact me so we can set up a meeting time and place.

~ Cheryl, I hope there is another opportunity for us to meet sometime soon.

~ Hollie, let's plan another time when we can meet up, maybe for lunch... I was so looking forward to discussing both our businesses.

~ Suzanne, I hope you had enough fun for the both of us. ( - :

Cheers! Nancy

Thank you for such a lovely day and the opportunity to meet wonderful new people at this beautiful venue in the warm sun! Loved playing tether ball....what memories! I used to be alot better as a kid :)

Wish I could have made it. My other half was out of town.

Linda and Tammy,

This was SO much fun! Thanks for all your hard work in pulling this together.

I met some very special new friends and the setting was absolutely gorgeous.

Linda and Tammy~ Thank you for putting this on! I'm sure it was a lot of work for you, but we sure enjoyed it- and learned there of several potential business opportunites to work with other attendees.

Thanks Linda & Tammy, it was a relaxing day for us well for Eric at least!).

I posted a few pictures from the event.
