Induction 2024: Celebrating New Members & Our 35th Anniversary

September 16th, 2024 @ 6:00pm

Join us for our Induction 2024 and Annual General Meeting where we will welcome 20 new Dames from the greater Bay Area and celebrate the 35th anniversary of LDEI-SF. This year’s Induction will be held in Marin County at The Monk’s Kettle Terra Linda in San Rafael, a warm and lively craft-beer tavern, kitchen and bottle shop co-owned by Dame Allison Jordan. (And featured on Check Please! Bay Area last year.)

The evening begins at 6 pm with a patio reception. Sip Champagne, wine and specialty beers from the extensive collection with appetizers and charcuterie. Purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win great prizes and support our chapter. We’ll move indoors at 7 pm for the Induction program and meeting while enjoying a delicious dinner with entree choices, family-style sides and salads and desserts. The evening will conclude with a celebration cake to mark this milestone anniversary. Tickets are $95/pp, tickets are non-refundable but they are transferable if needed.
