Graduate
Dottie Milici brings us this unique event that SB Newcomers is hosting
on June 8th. Their Local Heritage Committee has arranged to hold a combined
social and Local Heritage event at the Santa Barbara Club --and the Graduates
are invited!
The announcement below is from
the Newcomers' Newsletter. The Graduates should follow the same instructions
as the Newcomers in terms of reserving a space and sending payment.
There is a limit of 50 attendees, so it will be first come, first served.
Please call or email Lesley Powles with any
questions.
LOCAL HERITAGE
A Peek into the Santa Barbara Club
When: Friday, June 8th,
6:00 to 8:00 pm.
Description: During the winter of
1890, local ranchers and businessmen began sharing drinks and tales with wealthy
industrialists from the East who were staying for the season at Santa Barbara's posh Arlington Hotel. With horses being a common interest,
a loose sort of brotherhood formed known as the "Arlington Jockey Club."
In this vein, the Santa Barbara Club was formally established in 1892.
It is the oldest club in Santa Barbara, and is believed to be the oldest
social club between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Club members moved into
the Club’s finely-appointed, two-story clubhouse in 1904, designed by architect
Francis Wilson.
We will have hors d’oeuvres
and a no-host bar will be available. Club members will be on hand
to give us a tour and history of this seldom-viewed part of our local heritage.
Reservations: Yes. Limited
to 50
