A Day at the Races
With the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains
as a backdrop, Santa Anita Park in nearby Arcadia provides a picturesque setting
for horse racing. For more than 30 years, City Club members, family, and guests
have enjoyed a day of thoroughbred horse racing, lunch on the Club House
Terrace, and the thrill of picking winners.
For many years, the event was held on a
weekday and the San Marino Handicap was a feature race. However, in
recent years the day at Santa Anita has been held on a Saturday or
Sunday. In 2006, 68 attendees thoroughly enjoyed the sights and sounds of horse racing on a Sunday
afternoon in March. This year's Day at the Races will be held
on Sunday, March 30th. See the
flyer for additional information. |

Presidents' Party
For more than 40 years,
City Club members have honored the outgoing and incoming presidents
at a formal dinner-dance. Members and guests enjoy an elegant social
evening with a cocktail reception, a tasty dinner, and dancing to a
local band.
Venues have included
The Athenaeum at Cal-Tech, San Gabriel Country Club and the Valley
Hunt Club, where we returned for this year's celebration. Attendance
has ranged from 100 to 174 happy partygoers. Some couples entertain
others in their homes prior to the event itself. |

Golf Tournament
Up
to 72 golfers participate in our annual tournament with door prizes
donated by local businesses and trophies for the best – and luckiest –
golfers. The tournament has been held at San Gabriel Country Club,
California Country Club (Whittier), Industry Hills (City of Industry)
and Brookside Golf Course (Pasadena). A shotgun start launches the
foursomes of men and women and the day ends with an awards dinner.
A Callaway competition and a stroke play handicap competition give
everyone a chance to "bring home the gold." The "Pink Ball"
competition builds a money prize for two lucky foursomes. Other
competitions include Long Drive and Nearest to the Pin.
In
2007, the City Club Golf Tournament was held on Monday, June 11 at San
Gabriel Country Club.
In
2008, the Tournament will be held on Monday, June 23 at San Gabriel
Country Club.
Non-City Club golfers are welcome to play, space permitting. For
information, please call any of the Co-chairs: Tom Santley at
626.441.1445, Pete Loeffler at 626.287.8545, or Jean Gunnell at
626.289.1522.

Summer Party
At the request of many
members, a casual summer social event was added to the City Club
calendar. In recent years, a "Summer Fiesta" has been held on the patio
at El Molino Viejo (The Old Mill), San Marino’s historic treasure. On a
warm evening in June, City Club members and guests enjoy a Mexican
dinner prepared by Los Tacos Catering, listen to the melodies played by
a classical guitar musician, and celebrate the end of the school year.

Fourth of July Parade
Along with other community
groups, San Marino City Club has entered a "float" in the traditional
community parade that culminates in Lacy Park. The "float" consists of a
classic convertible car rather than an elaborately decorated vehicle.
The City Club president or another officer usually rides in the car. The
Fourth of July Celebration fills Lacy Park and includes games for
children, several bands (including the infamous "Dad’s Band"), and a
spectacular 25-minute fireworks show which concludes the evening.

Rose Court Dinner
Each November, the City
Club dinner meeting hosts the Tournament of Roses President along with
the Rose Queen and her Court. This is one of our most popular
events as daughters and granddaughters attend with our members to meet
and eat with Royalty.

PRESENTATION
OF CANDIDATE DEBATES, COMMUNITY FORUMS AND TOWN MEETINGS
San Marino City Club encourages the highest
standards of citizenship by sponsoring public forums or debates prior to
city-wide elections, including city council, school board, and local
bond financing elections. The debates are organized and sponsored by
City Club, and are often tape-recorded for later broadcast on San
Marino's local community Channel 19.
