There are many different get-togethers for social activities such as book clubs, museum trips, breakfasts, lunches and dinners. 

There are many group outings and other events to let you become acquainted with your new La Jolla neighbors. 

In September there is a President's Reception to introduce the new Board to the members of the Club.  There is a Holiday Gala where the gentlemen can don their tuxedo and the ladies have an excuse to buy that formal gown they have been dreaming of. 

The Club hosts an Academy Awards Party where you can watch the Academy Awards events on a giant TV screen, dress like one of the stars and even cast a ballot for your favorite movie.

What's the catch???  You need only be a new resident in the 92037 zip code within three months prior to submitting your application
