Annual 2023 Fragile X Picnic
The Annual Fragile X Picnic has new Family Chairs – Tim Field and his wife, Estela and will be planning the event with over 27 family members!
Saturday, October 7, 2023, 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Lake Mackintosh Park Club House
2704 Huffman Mill Road, Burlington, NC
Tim Field and his wife, Estela have volunteered to be the Family Chairs of the 2023 NC Fragile X Foundation picnic and are planning the event for October 7 at Lake Mackintosh Park in Burlington from 11 AM to 4 PM. After attending last year’s picnic, they and their extended families wanted to get more involved in the Fragile X Community and stepped forward and volunteered to chair this year’s picnic.
“We’re excited to support the foundation and its annual picnic,” Tim said. With over 27 family members working on it, Tim expects there to be lots of fun, games and activities and hopes to give old friends and new families a chance to get together and enjoy a day at the lake.
Thank you Deby: Special thanks to Deby Burgess who chaired the picnic for many years and is now helping Tim and his team plan this year’s Xtraordinary event. Watch for more details to come.
