This is a break from our normal monthly meetup!

We have monthly meet-ups with talks on tech, creativity, community, society, and the wonderful places where those things overlap. Every month we donate our proceeds to a local nonprofit. Come see some wonderful presentations, eat some donuts, and chat with friends.

Learn something new or share what makes you excited.

A casual kickback for people who like to talk.

Enjoy Sunday's forecasted sunshine, 75 degree weather, and company of friends at Laurelhurst park. Whatever games and/or food people bring, is what we'll do. I'll bring a frisbee.

Look at or around "Area E" to find the group. The space is not reserved so check twitter for up-to-the-minute messages with the #twicnic hashtag.

Last December, many of the local software developer User Groups banded together and had a party (instead of the regular meetings). It was know as the Winter Coders Social (few pics). Summer Coder's Social is the outdoor and (hopefully) sunny successor!!!

Join with other 'women who tech' from the Portland area on Sunday, June 22, to meet new friends, hang out with old friends, collaborate on ideas, share stories, and enjoy the plethora of potluck picnic foods. This is a great opportunity to create a local, supportive network for the vibrant and thriving community of women in technology professions by giving you all an open platform to share talents, experiences and insights.

An off-line extension of the Women Who Tech online network, this picnic hopes to bring together women from many industries that use technology to do their jobs or to help their organizations. You can learn more about the national network of women and join in by visiting the organization's website: http://womenwhotech.com
