Retired Members Round Table events in San Francisco

  • 1.  Retired Members Round Table events in San Francisco

    Posted Jun 12, 2015 09:19 AM

    Hi all:


     


    Thanks to Ann Marie Pipkin for putting together this list of our events in San Francisco.


     


    The RMRT has several sponsored events scheduled in  San Francisco at ALA annual 2015.


     


    Friday night dinner on the Bay Sunset Cruise.  


    Many thanks to Naomi Angier for making these arrangements:   You must call the number 888-651-9785, book your individual cruise and ask to be linked to reservation #70787003 which is my reservation number. That way we will all be on the same boat. The caterers are being informed that a large group will be on the boat and will have tables together. The cruise is at 7PM. I will get there at 6:30 and make sure we have tables. After you book the cruise (you will have your own confirmation number, but will be linked to my number), please email either the RMRT list or me at naomiangier@comcast.net and let me know you are coming so I know how many people to expect. When you arrive at the dock, just go on the boat and look for me at the tables. For more information about the cruise, here is the link http://www.viator.com/tours/San-Francisco/San-Francisco-Bay-Sunset-Cruise/d651-2630SUN.
