Marin Brunch Club: Cultivar (Sausalito)

Sun, Jun 14, 7:30 PM

From Marin Brunch Club

Six seats. Good wine. Even better conversation. Cultivar recently opened in Sausalito and it’s exactly the kind of place worth gathering around — intimate, inviting, and new enough that it still feels like a find. **What to expect:** A relaxed mid-day Sunday brunch with a group of people who enjoy good conversation. And if the mood strikes after, Sausalito’s downtown is fun to explore with local shops and waterfront views. **Who this is for:** You like exploring new places. You’d rather have one real conversation than five forgettable ones. You care about the atmosphere and even more about the people in it. We’re slowly building a small group of people who look forward to seeing each other. We’d love to see you there. **To reserve your spot:** All attendees will initially be placed on a **waitlist**. As this event has limited space, not all waitlisted guests will be moved to the **“Going”** list. Once you receive my direct message, you will be moved to the **“Going”** list only after your deposit* is received. *There is a $20 deposit to secure your spot. All deposits will be returned to you at brunch or if you cancel with more than 24 hrs notice. Why the hold? Small groups only work when everyone shows up. This keeps us accountable to each other from day one. Thank you for understanding!

We meet almost every Wednesday of the year; if we are "dark" for any reason (usually limited to Christmas and New Year's Day weeks, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and sometimes the 4th of July week), you will be told as a response to your RSVP. We recently started meeting in person the 1st Wednesday of each month in downtown Oakland at an "Oakstop" location at 1721 Broadway #201 (street level; doors face sidewalk on Broadway). Metered on street parking (you can pre-pay before 8am, which is when charging for time actually begins; most close-by metered spaces are limited to 60 minutes though it might be possible to extend time via a parking app). There are also parking lots in the area. On all other Wednesdays each month we meet online via Zoom. When you RSVP for a meeting after your request to meet with us has been approved, or at the time of your initial request, please include a short description of your business and also include your contact information in case we need to reach you before the meeting. You can attend our chapter twice as a visitor (this Meetup group seeks to find visitors to our group as a first step toward formally joining Best of the Bay) before submitting a formal application to join. Please also let us know how many guests you want to bring and tell us something about what is/are their professions.
