Hello friend! We can't quite believe it ourselves either, but it's finally June! While the warm summer weather is not rushing to manifest itself yet, we're expecting nice weather for our Annual Summer Picnic ☀️

What picnic? And what else is still to come this summer? Read it all below 👇

Herizon Annual Community Picinic is here! 💜

Join us for an afternoon of laid-back hanging out with community friends over food and fun little activities like tarot readings, crafting friendship bracelets and more. As before, this picnic is an optional potluck—bring food (or just yourself) and have food 🧺

After the picnic, we'll pack up and head to the Herizon office for karaoke and more snacks 🍿
