1st AGA Guam Chapter Family Picnic

Saturday, May 25, 2019

Thank you to our Guam Chapter Members and their families for coming out to our first AGA Family Picnic! It was definitely a fun day out in the sun. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other and add an opportunity to engage, not only with our fellow members, but with our family as well.

There was an early bird raffle, games, and prizes. Food and drinks were provided. An obstacle bouncy house was available for the kids to enjoy this family friendly event.

Special thanks to our coordinators and volunteers for their time and donations! We hope this is the first of many AGA family picnics!
