I wanted to share the basic plan for Sunday, which is a national Wiknic broadcast on
Youtube etc at 3pm Eastern, regional community breakouts on Zoom and other platforms at
4pm Eastern (where chapters and usergroups might be interested in hosting them), and
perhaps an optional global text chat at the end of that:

Hi Wiki-Americans,
I've added some ideas for the virtual Wiknic here, for Sunday August 16::
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic>
*Community history of the Great American Wiknic
*A cultural exploration of picnics, knowledge and society
*Food and cooking demonstrations, share your own local specialties
*Introduction to regional Wikimedia chapters and usergroups
*Breakout sessions for different regions and cities
*Call in from from a local park or natural site and share it on the video stream
*Pub-style quiz
And here is the proposal for the centralnotice banner, if you'd like to chime in
there:
