Special Events


Companions Get Together

Companions, please join us on Thursday October 23 from 3-4 PM in the AJ Toppers Room at the top of the Marriott Hotel.

A representative from the Oakland Convention Services and Visitors Bureau will be there to answer your questions, show a short video, and talk to us about current attractions, events, art galleries, walking tours, and modes of transportation. The Oakland Destination Guide, as well as points of interest maps, and other informational brochures will be distributed.

Art and Lucille Poskanzer, authors of the Berkeley and Oakland Area Restaurant Guide will be there to provide dining information. If people are interested we can also organize some lunch groups, exploring the local ethnic restaurants. Light refreshments will be served.

A registration fee of $10.00 can be paid online while registering for the main meeting, or at the registration desk on the day of the meeting. Online registration is strongly preferred so we can plan ahead.
