What a special off-site. Thank you.I have visited many times for events. This was my first guided tour. Today I learned something new. I enjoyed celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Oakland Bay Area Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Inc. AAMLO has s copy of the list of charter members. That rich history was shared today.

Love it!! You are awesome!!
