Our fourth anniversary is right around the corner and that means it's time for our 4th Annual TFO Picnic!! Last year we met up in a nice park in San Dimas and had a potluck/BBQ lunch. It was great to get out and meet fellow TFO members (even a couple torts, too)!
This year I'd also like to do something to celebrate our great community. I'm thinking a weekend in September is going to be best - this will give plenty of time for everyone to make plans. As far as location, I am open to input. Let's limit things to Southern California (other TFO meetups to come soon - if you're interested PM me!). We can do the same type of event - BBQ/potluck - or we can do something entirely different. I'm open to suggestions and excited to hear what you all think we should do.

RE: TFO's Fourth Anniversary Get-Together

Well we need to pick a central park ( preferably off a freeway to make it easy) so lots of people can come, I liked the last picnic naturally because it was like 5 mins from me, but I am willing to travel further. So if we could all put our zip codes here, those that want to attend of course, and for like the tenth anniversary, I would love to see like a big weekend get together that lots of peopel can attend like multi state big. A man can dream can't he
My idea so I go first
91750

And I Of course vote for a picnic potluck again, I think the last one worked great, even if it was kinda small.

Anyone and everyone is welcome! Newbies, don't be shy - come out of the woodwork...

If you think you'll be able to attend a weekend picnic meetup in a park in Southern California in September, post your ZIP Code

I'm at 92373
