Amigos de Colombia Picnic
LSSMN is not in a position to hold a separate Colombia picnic this year – we invite you to the All Adoption Program Picnic on August 3rd. In the event that there are families who would like to organize a Colombia/Latin American specific picnic, we are happy to forward any flyers to our mailing lists. Interested parties should contact Brandi Hill at brandi.hill@lssmn.org.
