Welcome Reception
“California Dreamin’”
Drop in,
hang ten, and get ready for an evening of radical fun filled with the
spirit of surf. Tonight, you’ll be immersed in an evening of the
classic California culture. As you arrive on the Grand Lawn, you’re
invited to kick off the evening with a delicious cocktail and discover
fabulous California cuisine.
Attendees and their kids alike can
experience first-hand authentic coastal culture by “hanging ten” on a
surf simulator! Don’t forget to have your photo snapped in front of a
vintage Woodie car or commission your own little bit of local art with a
namescape artist. Adults can savor the flavor of local vineyards with
tastes of some favorite regional wines. As the Pacific Ocean disappears
into the twilight, you’ll be groovin’ to classic beach tunes and coastal
favorites under the California stars. Ah, now you’re California Dreamin’.
Attire: Resort Casual. Shorts are acceptable.
Golf Practice Round
Don’t miss the opportunity to sharpen your game with a practice
round on Sunday, June 15. The traditional GBA Golf Tournament will be
held on Monday, but our golfers will get the chance to hone their skills
on Sunday. We have tee times arranged at the Monarch Beach Golf Links
beginning at 12:30 p.m. Tee times are limited, so register early and
you will be notified of your tee time prior to the convention. The fee
is $215 per person.
Golf Tournament
Monarch Beach Golf Links' location, along with abundant amenities,
offers an enjoyable experience that is truly unforgettable. This Robert
Trent Jones, Jr. designed course, runs along the bluffs of the Pacific Ocean and is fashioned in Scottish links tradition. Leaders from the PGA, Senior PGA and LPGA tours have competed on this picturesque course.
The tournament is open to all who attend and will begin with a shotgun
start on Monday, June 16 at 1:00 p.m. While the course is challenging,
the format will suit all handicaps. The registration fee of $225
includes greens fees, a boxed lunch and beverages throughout the
tournament.
Chairman’s Farewell Gala
The Chairman’s Farewell Gala is one of the most enjoyable and highly
anticipated events of the Annual
Convention. And this year will be no
exception. Begin this last evening with friends over cocktails and a
fabulous dinner. Then, hit the dance floor to one of Southern
California’s favorite bands – Haute Chili. These world class musicians
render the best of Motown, classic rock, jazz and disco with a
sophisticated twist. Come ready to rock and roll the night away! Attire:
