As summer comes to a close, here is a special Summer Highlight! ☀️

We are looking back on a wonderful day at NABA’s annual 2026 picnic!

Although the weather moved our plans indoors, we were so grateful to be welcomed by Duo at the Dunes. A special thank-you to 2Shea Catering for generously hosting us in their beautiful space and helping make the day such a success.

From delicious food and games to great company, raffle prizes for every attendee, and a piñata that was a big hit, it was a joyful opportunity for the NABA community to come together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this year’s picnic so memorable!
