Blood Drive - 2 Dates available


Help save lives by donating blood. Your donation can significantly impact emergency situations, surgeries, and patients with medical conditions. Each donation can save up to three lives, as blood is separated into red cells, plasma, and platelets for various treatments. Donating is safe, quick, and usually takes less than an hour. Blood banks ensure donor safety with sterile equipment. Regular donations help maintain a stable blood supply for hospitals. Blood cannot be manufactured; it relies on donors like you. To donate, find a local blood center or mobile drive, and check eligibility requirements, such as being at least 17 years old, weighing 110 pounds, and being in good health. Your contribution brings hope and support to those in need. Join today and make a lasting impact.

Surf & Turf, Steaks and Stogies Dinner

Set for an elegant night of indulgence, guests will begin the experience in the Emerald Room, where no-host cocktails and a sophisticated selection of appetizers set the tone:

· Bruschetta with toast points

· Kielbasa wrapped in puff pastry with nine-grain mustard dipping sauce

· Mozzarella and tomato skewers with balsamic drizzle

To complement the appetizers, guests will enjoy DAOU Paso Robles Rosé, a vibrant wine known for its floral aromas and bright fruit notes — a perfect prelude to what’s to come.

From there, the evening transitions to the Club California Patio, where diners will be seated for an unforgettable culinary journey.

Dinner Menu:

· Starter: Shrimp Louie Salad served with warm sourdough rolls

· Entrée: Surf & Turf – Filet mignon paired with a tender lobster tail, served with root vegetables and cottage herbed potatoes

· Alternate Entrée: Oven-roasted chicken (for those who prefer)

Dinner will be beautifully paired with Angeline Pinot Noir from Mendocino County — a light, clean wine with notes of sliced strawberry and citrus, offering a refined, authentic Pinot character.

To finish the evening, guests will indulge in Espresso Chip Coffee Ice Cream served on a decadent chocolate fudge cookie, providing a sweet and satisfying close to the meal.

The entire experience — wine, food, service, and ambiance — is offered at $75 per person, inclusive of tax and tip. And for those who wish to extend the evening with a fine cigar, Tony’s Fine Cigars will be on-site offering premium selections. Guests are also welcome to bring their own cigars. Non-smokers are equally welcome to enjoy the festivities.
