Annual Summer Picnic
The 2024 FastFriends Annual Picnic will be Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm!
Where is it?
At The Park in La Habra Heights (on Hacienda Blvd.)
This location is referred to as Hacienda Park on Google Maps and offers a wonderful venue for the event – acres of grass, trees, shade, sun, real restrooms (not porta-potties!) and lots of free parking.
Click Here for a map of the location. It is the same place the picnic is always held. Go south on Hacienda from the 60 Fwy or north from Whittier Blvd. Click on the marker for directions.

HELP!
To make the picnic a huge success, WE ESPECIALLY NEED SALAD DONATIONS. If time is tight, let your local deli or Costco do the work! (No green salads, please - they tend to wilt.) If you can’t bring a salad then bring a dessert. All donations, large, small, homemade or purchased, will be appreciated! FastFriends supplies serving spoons. A special raffle for a doggie gift basket will be held for salad or dessert donors.
