Fall HOA Picnic Returns on October 24th, 2026
We are excited to share that we are holding our annual neighborhood picnic – a time to meet your neighbors, have fun and connect with the entire community.
The HOA picnic committee is planning a full afternoon of activities for the whole family, and we hope to see you there.
Save the date: Saturday, October 24, 2026
Picnic: Noon–3 p.m.
Setup: Begins at 9 a.m.
Location: Junipero Serra Common Area
We need volunteers!
It takes many hands to make the picnic fun and safe for everyone. We’re looking for neighbors to help with:
Table setup, decoration, signage.
Stocking ice chests with ice and beverages, serving pizza.
Greet guests and dignitaries.
Assist with children’s activities – there will be goodie bags, a face painter and games.
Most volunteer roles are simple, and even an hour of your time helps. Please consider signing up and inviting a neighbor to volunteer with you.
We’re also expecting a great lineup of community guests and activities, including local firefighters, representatives from the Taraval Police Station and local offices, a face painter, kids’ activities, and, of course, plenty of Halloween costumes. Musical entertainment will be provided by our talented neighbor, Sam Cadelinia.
To volunteer or learn more, contact Board President Honoria Sarmento.
Bring the whole family, come in costume, and bring a favorite dish to share.
And help us spread the word. Reach out to your neighbors, especially anyone new to the neighborhood, and invite them to join us. The picnic is one of the easiest ways to meet people and build a stronger community.
