This year, the theme for our fourth-annual IS & RESO Virtual Summer Social is a “Trip to the Zoo.” Expect family-friendly fun, games, and an inspiring guest speaker from our Mission Ambassador partner, Blanchet House in Portland.
Our IS & RESO event planning volunteers have been hard at work planning our fourth-annual Virtual Summer Social. This year, we’ll host a single US morning/India evening virtual event on Thursday, August 9, 2023. It’s a great opportunity to connect to our Mission and socialize with caregivers across regions and continents!
All IS & RESO caregivers should have a “save the date” in your calendars from EVP/CIO BJ Moore:
7:30-9:00 a.m. (PT) / 8:00-9:30 p.m. (IST), Thurs., Aug. 9
Join event from the Teams live event link in the invite from BJ or by visiting our event’s front page on SharePoint – https://providence4.sharepoint.com/sites/SummerSocial2023/.
What we have planned as we rotate through four, 15-minute sessions following our kick-off reflection:
- Mission Ambassador program guest speaker, Meg Stark, development manager with Portland’s Blanchet House and our Mission Raffle benefitting their important work supporting the poor and vulnerable
- A fun scavenger hunt at the Hyena Hacienda
- Zoo-themed BINGO in the Panda Parlor
- Animal-oriented Jeopardy at Giraffic Park
- A mesmerizing illustrated trip to the zoo brought to life by a renowned Indian sand artist, brought to us by Providence Global Center, at the Critter Cabin
- Kid’s activities and counting game in our Koala Nursery

Look forward to having you join us!
