OTHER NOTES:
We invite you to bring a bottle of liquid refreshment & treat to share with others in the Hospitality Suite Friday and Saturday evenings. Extra bottles from the hospitality suite will be distributed at the dinner, with CSS covering the corkage fee.
The luncheon buffet cannot accommodate everyone all at once so please help us manage the serving line by adjusting your arrival as needed. Lunch will be served between noon and 2 pm. It’s a great time to check out the Vendor Areas and our Exhibit.
The proceeds from the Saturday night Benefit drawing and auction are used to support the GSBF Collections at the Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt, the Huntington Gardens, and the Shinzen Garden. Your generous donations to and participation in the event make our collections a success.
