Join us on November 6th for a gathering exclusive to our Leadership Circle and Board members. Experience the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, the oldest operating public Japanese garden in North America, and explore the tranquility of its Japanese maples, twisting pines, clipped azaleas, and cherry trees. We should be just in time for some beautiful fall foliage!
The tour will be led by Steven Pitsenbarger, the garden’s longtime supervisor, who will teach us about its landscape and history. The tour will be followed by an optional lunch at nearby Fiorella Sunset, a great opportunity to get to know fellow members and to ask Steven more questions.
*This is a private event that is exclusive to our members (Leadership Circle, Board, Corporate, Individual). We reserve the right to refuse admission.
