Santa Barbara Yacht Club
Monday Luncheon Forum
Reservations are not required. Cost is $9.00, which includes a buffet, coffee and dessert. Each program includes a Special Speaker. Topics cover a wide variety, often involving: Santa Barbara Happenings, technical subjects from professional spokespersons, travel talks with photos, local politics, etc. etc.
We gather at the club between 11:30 and 12. We have a buffet luncheon at noon. We make a few short announcements about recent nautical events, and then we have our speaker from about 12:35 or so until 1:15 or so.
