General Meeting, Nov 7, 7:00PM

Please note we are now in our winter meeting hours and the Nov 7 General Meeting will start at 7:00pm. Also, there is no BBQ, just bring a snack/dessert to share.

We will have Game Night and play Family Feud. Rebecca will take the role as Steve Harvey, divide us into 2 teams (families) and will lead the competition to answer fun survey questions. Should be a blast! We don’t plan to have a raffle but will update everyone on upcoming events and will be taking sign-ups for our March 4 – 9 Mammoth trip.

Look forward to seeing you there

We will start at 6:00pm with Bocce Ball at the court just to the west of the club. I hear Ralph is a ringer, so we need some good challengers!

Instead of a BBQ, each person is invited and encouraged to enter the LPSC Great Chili Cook-off and bring a pot of your special chili for folks to sample. First Prize is $25 and Second Prize is $10. The club will provide little cups and spoons for tasting of each entrant’s chili. The club will also provide some chili so no-one goes hungry. Whether you bring chili or not, please bring a side dish or dessert to share!

So start researching recipes and thinking of a descriptive name for your chili, and start cookin’!

We have some exciting fall events coming up that we will discuss, including Magic Castle Trip, our Annual Fall Party and Christmas Lights at the Zoo!

TGIT and Concert, Sept 12, 4:00pm – 6:00pm, Settebello and Oxnard Collection

We have a great TGIT Happy Hour planned for Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana located in The Collection at Riverpark, 2760 Seaglass Way, Oxnard, CA 93036. Plenty of parking in the structure behind the restaurant. Afterwards, we can enjoy a concert starting at 6:30pm featuring Twisted Gypsy – A tribute to Fleetwood Mac at The Collection Park.

We always enjoy this location for a TGIT! Settlebello offers a wide variety of pizzas, salads, salami, antipasti, pasta and dolci. See their menu at: https://www.toasttab.com/settebellooxn/v3.

Settebello was one of the first restaurants to open its doors to the Riverpark community in The Collection at Riverpark. From the day they opened the pizza oven has been manned by Pizzaiolo/Chef Rafael Garcia. Rafael has been part of the Settebello family since the beginning of our journey that started in Henderson, NV nearly 15 years ago. Since then Rafael oversaw the opening of our Pasadena location before relocating himself and his family to Riverpark to operate Settebello Oxnard.

After the TGIT, we can head over to the Collection Park for the Twisted Gypsy – A tribute to Fleetwood Mac concert. Bring your picnic chairs and blankets, relax, and enjoy a fantastic concert ! More info about the concert can be found at: Collection Concerts
