AFLSE Tacoma Bon Voyage Gathering in the South Sound

Welcome future fellow LSE alumni!

Calling all LSE Alumni in the South Sound

We invite you to celebrate summer for a blissful afternoon of island views, great conversation, and a seriously upgraded campfire tradition.
 

We are gathering on Sunday, August 16th at 4:00 PM at the gorgeous Day Island home of alumna Gabri Kirkendall. Given Gabri’s professional focus on mental health, she knows the true value of community, connection, and taking time to unwind by the water and she is generously sharing her beautiful waterfront home with us.
 

We’ll have the fire pit going, the tide coming in, and a gourmet s’mores bar designed for your maximum happiness:
 

🍫 The Traditional (For the purists)

🥜 The Peanut Butter (For the ultimate comfort)

🍋 The Lemon Curd (A bright, unexpected game-changer)

🍑 The Peach (Pure Pacific Northwest summer bliss)
 

Bring a folding chair to sit along with your family to reconnect with the South Sound LSE network, meet new and familiar faces in the surrounding Pierce County area, and watch a gorgeous sunset over the Puget Sound. 

Bring your favorite LSE memories, appetite for delicious s’mores and a light jacket for when the sun goes down.
