Afternoon Tea & Other Adventures - San Diego

Hi everyone~

Our lovely member Vera has generously offered to host a poolside brunch for the group at her home, and I'm very excited for this event!!

In addition to opening up her home, Vera will be providing us with disposable dinnerware, cups, and utensils. Please plan to bring a brunch food item to share with the group, and a beverage for yourself in a non-glass container (safety first poolside!).

Please leave a comment below stating the specific food item(s) you'll be bringing for the ten of us. Please also bring serving utensils for your item(s). I will share Vera's address with the attendees via direct message through Meetup a few days in advance of the event.

Thank you Vera, and yay! This will be a super fun day.

Hi everyone~

Let's meet for brunch at Swami's Cafe in Oceanside! You can view their super yummy menu here: https://www.swamiscafe.com/oceanside. Note that the brunch will start around 10:30am. I will be getting there early to request a table for us, but Swami's does not accept reservations so a little bit of flexibility might be an asset here. :)

After brunch, no need to move your car! Anyone who wants to can join me in walking over to the Oceanside Museum of Art for their free admission day. On the first Sunday of each month, everyone can access their exhibitions at no cost (usually it's $15/pp). Their list of current exhibitions is here: https://oma-online.org/exhibitions-oma/. We can also take part in a free outdoor Plein Air Painting Party art activity, if we'd like. I love OMA and think it's a wonderful museum, and I hope y'all agree!

The details: You're welcome to join for just brunch, just the museum, or both parts of the outing! Please just leave a comment below letting us know what you'll be attending. Regardless of what you'll be joining us for, I'd plan to park by OMA. There are a lot of free spaces, and it's a 5 minute walk from Swami's. The address for Swami's Oceanside is 202 North Coast Hwy Oceanside, CA 92056. The address for OMA is 704 Pier View Way Oceanside, CA 92054. No prepayment is required for this event, but please update your RSVP if your plans change.

Can't wait to see you there!

Hi everyone~

Thanks so much to our group member, Vera, for suggesting that we have this event in Lemon Grove! She even connected me with the venue via email to help facilitate making arrangements, so thank you again! 💕

We'll enjoy a delicious afternoon four-course afternoon tea featuring a salad course; savory tea sandwiches; scones; desserts; and pots of red leaf lemon tea from 1:00 - 2:30pm.

Tea will be followed by an optional 30 minute tour of both the Lee House Cultural Center (where the tea will be held) and the 1897 Parsonage Museum. Both of the buildings are located in Treganza Heritage Park. Parking is free and plentiful in the park.

The combined tea and tours are priced at just $35 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity, making this a super duper value event. A prepayment of $35 is required to hold your RSVP for this event, so please venmo me at @lauren-blackwell-7.

Because there is a minimum number of guests required for this private event to take place, refunds will only be available if we are able to find someone to take your spot.

Thanks so much, and hope to see you there!
Lauren
