August Monthly Dinner Meeting

PLEASE JOIN US FOR OUR UPCOMING AUGUST DINNER MEETING From 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm we socialize and enjoy cocktails and appetizers. The dinner and program starts at 6:30 pm Our August Program features GILLAN SQUIRREL with Working Dogs Working Lives. Working with the power of the human-canine bond they help socially excluded and often disadvantaged adults and young people make life changes. They help them realize that they can have goals and that they have potential. Through their work with shelter dogs they too benefit, gaining an improved quality of daily life and increased chances for adoption. They work with adults and young people with complex psycho-social problems. Many will have had frequent engagement with human service agencies and will often be considered harder to reach. With their novel animal-based programs we are able to engage people in learning about themselves and others by working compassionately with another species. Their programs include: FoundAtions, WorkOut and MoveOn and the ways in which we work. We invite you to visit our website and meet some of the people and dogs we have worked with. http://www.working-dog.org/ DINNER COST Dinner cost $35 at door ($30 if you pay in advance quarterly) You can also pay via paypal on our website at http://www.sfsoroptimist.org/ Wine- $7 per glass (limited wine list) MENU Linguini with smoked chicken & shiitake mushrooms with white sauce (or without chicken) Crab Cakes with mango papaya salsa, black bean corn relish, & cold snap peas Caribbean Grilled Chicken Breast with mango sauce, avocado, oranges, spicy rice & black beans Grilled Salmon Filet with light soy glaze, served with rice & grilled vegetables RSVP your attendance and dinner choice by Friday, August 8, 2014 to Cailen at sisf-board@sfsoroptimist.org or call 415-259-7163 (texting is fine).
