We’re so happy to be gathering in person again. Join us for a party at the Lake Temescal Beach House in Oakland. This beautiful spot offers indoor and outdoor seating. Enjoy a luncheon buffet with California wines, live music, games, and more! Each guest receives a commemorative wine glass and a chance to win a gift basket filled with genealogical goodies. There will also be a raffle of other themed gift baskets. Full details HERE.
