\"FtMcHenry\"The Annapolis, Baltimore, and Columbia based Community Counselors of Au Pair in America are pleased to announce our Annual Host Family picnic. Families and au pairs will join together at the site where our National Anthem was composed at F <\/span>t. McHenry in Baltimore. In the spirit of sharing cultural heritages, au pairs from each country will be sharing their national anthem with everyone. Au Pairs will also be asked to bring a dish from their home country to share and help with face painting. It is a beautiful location on the water and should be a great event with three clusters participating. Host families are asked to bring their own picnic lunch, and fold up chairs. There will be tables there but not a lot of seating. Counselors are providing paper goods, I.e. plates, napkins, and cutlery, beverages, and cake.<\/span><\/div>\n
