January 2022 General Meeting and Social Events Cancelled

Using an abundance of caution, the Board has decided to cancel the January General Meeting and January social events (including TGIT) due to the large uptick in COVID among both the unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people. We are hoping the surge will peak in the next few weeks and we can have our next General Meeting on February 3. We will keep you posted.

A head’s up, we plan to have a sporting equipment/clothing swap meet at the next General Meeting on February 3. So if you have skiing or other sporting equipment and clothing you no longer need, plan to bring it to the February General Meeting to sell, swap or give away!

UPDATED: TGIT Wednesday, December 15th The Greek

Please join us for a TGIT Happy hour on WEDNESDAY, December 15th, 4:30 – 6:00pm at Margarita Villa, 1567 Spinnaker Dr. #200, The Greek 1583 Spinnaker Dr #101, Ventura, CA 93001 (In the Ventura Harbor). Yes, we know TGIT stands for Thank God it’s Thursday, and our Happy hour is on Wednesday, so if you prefer, you can refer to it as a TGIW if that makes you sleep better at night 🙂

The Happy hour is scheduled so you can attend before the Holiday Light Cruise at 6:30pm at Island Packers (see this link for cruise details: https://lospadresskiclub.net/?p=1930)

Margarita Villa The Greek has an excellent happy hour that includes specially priced cocktails, wine and beer as well as appetizer specials. See the Happy Hour menu at: https://www.thegreekventura.com/our-menus#menu=happy-hour-menu

Hope to see you there!

TGIT Happy Hour, Thursday November 18, 4:30 – 6:30pm, Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana

We have a great TGIT Happy Hour planned for Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana located in The Collection at Riverpark, 2760 Seaglass Way, Oxnard, CA 93036. It is near the Movie theater and just down from REI. Plenty of parking in the structure behind the restaurant. They are generously giving us the entire patio from 4:30 – 6:30 pm. Dress accordingly. 

Ralph B. requested this location for a TGIT so we can thank him. All Happy Hour items are 6 bucks – and delicious. (Well drinks $4, beer $2 off and house wine $5). Settlebello offers a wide variety of pizzas, salads, salumi, antipasti, pasta and dolci. See their menu at: https://order.toasttab.com/online/settebellooxn.

Settebello was one of the first restaurants to open its doors to the Riverpark community in The Collection at Riverpark. From the day they opened the pizza oven has been manned by Pizzaiolo/Chef Rafael Garcia. Rafael has been part of the Settebello family since the beginning of our journey that started in Henderson, NV nearly 15 years ago. Since then Rafael oversaw the opening of our Pasadena location before relocating himself and his family to Riverpark to operate Settebello Oxnard.
