We're going to try something a little bit different and new. Our group is very interested in a hike and our co-organizer suggested a fun activity Geocaching. How about trying both? We're updating the location to Tualatin Hills Nature Park/Center.

It's forecasted to rain, but we'll try anyway; it is Oregon. You can choose to hike, Geocache, or both. We'll spend about an hour together and you can choose to spend more time on your own.

If you're interested in Geocaching you can download the app. It's free and all you need to do is register before we go.

We'll gather everyone at Nature Center at 1pm and have some intros and then start our hike and Geocache at 1:10. Thank you for being prompt!

Are you a professional handball player or have you ever wanted to try the sport? If you've played before, join us for a fun round of games. If you're new, it's easy to learn and have a good time.

Here's a clip of how the game works and hopefully inspire you to join us for a great workout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ak0ew52hM0

We'll be playing the shelter at Greenway Park next to Greenway Elementary.

Girls Inc. of the Pacific Northwest inspires girls ages 6-18 to be Strong, Smart, and Bold. Every day, we push our girls out of their comfort zones through our gender-specific and research-based curricula. Now, in honor of the 2,200 girls that we serve annually, we are asking our community to be bold as well by rappelling 17 stories down the 200 Market Street building!

It's Croquet – only American Style! With bowling balls and sledgehammers!

That's right, no tiny croquet for us and we've now been doing this for 26 years.

So pull on your British Lawn Whites, your Ham Sammmich costume, your Spock ears or perhaps just your sunglasses and get ready to smack some balls.

What to bring?

• something cold to drink
• a chair to set a spell
• a snack to share with the Mad Hatter Picnic

If you have one, a sledgehammer is handy, but we come equipped with enough hammers and bowling balls so no worries. In fact, you can just come and watch if you'd like.

We do suggest you can turbo-up your fun by dressing appropriately, or appropriately inappropriate. Need some suggestions? Check out past photos: https://mondocroquet.com/photos/
