Events
As California and Northwest Patrons, we are constantly engaging in a series of exclusive curated events throughout the year. Typically, we have at least four events annually in and around Southern California (predominantly throughout Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties, with occasional events in San Francisco and Bay Area-adjacent cities), and two to four events in the Seattle area. Admission to all events is for current Patrons only, and is included as a benefit of membership.
