Upcoming Event
Riverboat Dinner Cruise
 |
Dance the night away under the stars, or simply relax and sip something cool and tasty in elegant surroundings as you take in the lights and sights ashore from the midst of the gently flowing Sacramento River on this lovely summer's eve! We'll be departing from and returning to the L Street dock in historic Old Sacramento aboard the riverboat Empress Hornblower, whose classic design echoes a time when paddleboats were the preferred way to travel. This leisurely evening of wining and dining on a 2 1/2 hour cruise up and down Ole Man River will feature a complimentary glass of champagne upon embarkation, a 3-course dinner with a choice of entrees, a cash bar, and live dance music provided on board! |

New Girls' Night Out - Shopping Experience
 |
If you have been wanting to go out shopping for a new dress, shoes or makeup, but are not confident enough to do it on your own or want some fashion advice, September's New Girls' Night Out event is just for you. Gems member Melissa will be taking a small group out for an afternoon of shopping followed by an optional dinner. A shopping trip to Arden Fair Mall or Roseville Galleria and nearby stores such as Nordstrom Rack is planned. The exact locations will be based on the desires of the group. The start and end times are flexible, but be prepared to shop until you are ready to drop. Definitely wear a pair of very comfortable walking shoes! The shopping group will be limited to two in addition to Melissa. Spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis so it is important to RSVP early and no later than September 14. More details will be provided after you RSVP. |
