Mexican Fiesta at Hope Ranch Beach!
Wednesday, August 11, 6 PM
 

    By popular demand:

                            THE HOPE RANCH MEXICAN FIESTA AT THE BEACH 

 Graduates attending the Hope Ranch Event this Wednesday evening
should plan to carpool if at all possible! Thanks!

Dress up in something festive and join us on August 11 at the exclusive private beach in Hope Ranch for a gourmet Mexican Fiesta. For those of you who have attended this event in the past as Newcomers, no further description is needed. For those of you who have not, be assured that this was one of the most popular events ever in Newcomers. Nothing to do but show up and party. 

At 6 pm we mingle and socialize with  chips, salsa and guacamole. The committee will supply one margarita per person with the appetizers. Later, our catered meal of Mexican food will be delivered by Lito's restaurant. After a friendly meal, we stroll down to the water to watch the sun set on the beach. A special evening that was always a sellout for Newcomers, recreated for Graduates at the special price of $10 per person.

Bring any desired beverage of choice beyond the one margarita. Everything else will be provided. 

Directions: Exit 101 at La Cumbre. Take La Cumbre toward the ocean to the entrance to Hope Ranch. Follow Las Palmas through many winding turns, and turn right on Las Olas Drive to the beach. We will meet you at the gate to the beach area from 6 to 6:30. There is parking at the beach area.

Reservations: Limited to 75. Call Judy Dromgoole. After your reservation has been confirmed, send your check for $10 per person, made out to Michael Koelsch, to Cindy Lomonaco. Your reservation will be cancelled if no check is received within 7 days of making your reservation.
