Salt Creek Beach Co-Ed Book Club (snacks)

We will be sitting on the grassy slope instead of at the picnic tables as it will be easier to hear the discussion. We won’t have a table for the food. Just a blanket. Plates, napkins and plastic utensils are provided.

Our co-ed Book Club will take place on the grass above Salt Creek Beach, officially named Sea Bluff Park. Our host will be arriving early so come on down. Walk thru the tunnel. We will set up our beach chairs on the grass and the Snacks in the center of the circle.
