Plan now to be at the first annual "Savour Rancho Bernardo" at the
Courtyard by Marriott RB Tuesday, October 21.
Many of the community's most popular
restaurants and hotel restaurants will
be offering a sampling of their fare.
Also, we are including a number of
local retirement communities.
Bring your spouses, friends and
neighbors. This is going to be an
exciting event. Thanks to Kory
Demeulenaere, General Manager
of the Courtyard by Marriott, and
her staff for opening her facility
to this event. We plan on 15-20
establishments to participate. Said
RBBA President Toni Kraft, "And if it
warrants, we will take this event to the whole community in years to come."
In typical RBBA reception fashion, t
his event is free to members and $5.00
for non-members. And of course the first drink is always on the RBBA.
