Before that we have some good events coming up like the Tasting on the Glade and the Annual Mother’s Day Brunch. So please plan to attend some of these events along with the Annual Indian Dinner prepared by me.I am glad to inform you that much of the work on the East side of the Club is completed along with the roof, windows, doors and the ADA parking in the back entrance. There is still more to be done, and I will keep you informed.Please recommend the Club to your family and friends for special events, as we have a good team and host many wonderful weddings, birthdays, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs all through the summer.I am always available if you have any suggestions or if I can assist you in any way.Sincerely,Felix Solomon, Manager

And then, on Friday, May 16th, Matias Tarnopolsky, Director of Cal Performances since 2009, will be our lecturer guest.
