The home association of Friisilä, "Friisilän Omakotiyhdistys ry" (FOKY), was established already in 1950 with the intention to support the residents in Espoo's Friisilä area to boost the residential cooperation and act as a community to ensure the interests of residents are taken into consideration e.g. in city of Espoo's decision making.
All households in the Friisilä area can become members and almost half of them pay the 10EUR membership fee annually. FOKY publishes an A4 printed newspaper 4-5 times a year and that is distributed to all of the households in the Friisilä area. Topical news are also shared in the Facebook group (facebook.com/friisilanomakotiyhdistys, in Finnish mostly) and in the friisila.fi website.
The association has a board, which meets regularly throughout the year and arranges activities that all the members can participate in. The annual general meeting is held in March.
The general interest of the association is to follow the plans related to Friisilä and neighboring areas, for example development of municipal infrastructure and facilities, traffic arrangements, protection of Friisinkallio. The board also plans Friisilä products like history books and Christmas cards.
Early spring we arrange a cleaning bee, "siivoustalkoot" (we pick up litter from Friisilä area) and the summer party has been a long lasting yearly tradition (except during the pandemic). More recent tradition is the Christmas calendar in December, with the highlight being each household having live fires on the streets to celebrate the Finland's independence on December 6th.
One of the most popular activities arranged by the FOKY are the weekly instructor lead physical exercises with a nominal fee inside a facility in Friisilä (at the moment at the kindergarten). If you are interested in joining or want to hear more, please email friisilaomakoti@gmail.com.
