Last year's gathering at this location went over very well so we decided to return. There are no reservations just enter the venue and walk to the back patio where you will find us gathered. The weather should be perfect and we are locate near the runway for Montgomery Airport so there will small planes landing and taking off. There are no speakers and no particular agenda, just setting aside time to spend with our members. The food is very good and you are free to order a dinner while there, there will be plenty of parking and seating. The address is 8885 Balboa Avenue, San Diego 92123
