Retirees Picnic Fun!

The LADWP Employees Association welcomed department Retirees to a picnic June 7 at Whittier Narrows Park in South El Monte.
The picnic returned in 2023 after a break during the pandemic.
The Club’s Mobile Team was on hand to greet Club Members and others, offer great LADWP Retirees gifts and attire, and share insurance and benefit information.
