Scan the Handbook, enjoy a short informal talk and an afternoon walk. Light brunch will be served. Please join us!

  • Time: 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM

Getting There and Parking: Since there is no parking on Mockingbird Lane, and limited parking on Puente Drive, we encourage folks to walk if at all possible (see map). If you have to drive from Hollister turn south on Puente Drive, park near the intersection of Puente and Mockingbird Lane, and walk up Mockingbird (towards the ocean). Follow signs to the party (see map below).
