Camaraderie, fellowship, reconnection, and pickleball happened, along with sharing of great and plentiful food and beverages when PGE retirees, alumni, and friends gathered recently.
August 16, 2025 was the date of another PGE retiree picnic at Tualatin Community Park. The turn out was smaller than previous years, probably due to being held on Saturday when it’s usually held on Wednesday or Thursday. Several people who usually attend indicated they would miss it because of other commitments, Alarmingly, rain fell the previous evening and was forecast to continue into Saturday morning. Fortunately, picnickers were blessed and the rain did not occur. The day’s weather could not have been any better. It was great to see fellow retirees mingle and talk about all the various interests they have been pursuing in retirement. It was a wonderful afternoon with friends. Fear not, the 2026 picnic will return to a midweek date.
