Enjoy this special opportunity to join the Dinner Club at The Arc and make friends with clients of The Arc — people with developmental disabilities — by working together to plan and prepare a menu, follow recipes, cook, share dinner, and clean up. This is a mini version of our very popular Thanksgiving Luncheon at The Arc!

While Dinner Club is a weekly event, Rotarians are invited to one dinner a month. Come once, or make it a regular commitment. Come alone, or bring your friends and family members who are over the age of 17. 

There is ample street parking near The Arc. It's just two blocks from the Van Ness MUNI Metro Station, or you can take the MUNI 47 Van Ness or 9 San Bruno bus.

At the suggestion of Peter Lagarias, past president of the Rotary Club of San Francisco and Past District Governor of District 5150, our Club's October 2019 Social is dinner at South Beach Cafe followed by the movie Epiphany with members, family and friends of our Club. We'll meet at South Beach Cafe for dinner and then walk to the theater. You may attend the dinner or the movie or both.

Epiphany tells the story of Luka, a young woman trying with all her might to connect with her negligent father in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Luka grows close to an older man as her family’s mysterious past begins to unfold. The movie is a self-proclaimed lyrical love poem to Greek culture and the dying sea sponge industry

The dinner is no-host, but please register yourself and guests so we know you are coming. Purchase your movie tickets here. Be sure to select the October 21, 2019 screening at 7PM. You are responsible for printing out your own tickets or picking them up at will-call.

For more information, contact Stacey Poole or Peter Lagarias.
