Sat, June 20 | 4-7pm
Trolley Barn Park
We invite you to join us for an elegant afternoon inspired by the charm of a traditional English summer. Guests are encouraged to compete in a friendly badminton tournament or join sangha members in playing bocce ball and croquet. No English party is complete without afternoon tea including a selection of delicate treats and tea sandwiches. Prizes will be awarded to the winning badminton team, the best dressed, and the top fundraiser.
Don't forget your lawn chair or picnic blanket. We can't wait to see you there!

This year's shirt design was inspired by the following quote from The Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land According to Highest Yoga Tantra sadhana:
With my mind like a fine horse heading for higher ground
Guided by the reins of the Dharma of the three higher trainings,
And urged onwards with the whip of strong effort,
Now I will swiftly travel the path to liberation.

Location: East Shore Mission Bay Park
We will gather on the grass by the parking lot just south of Clairemont Drive and the Mission Bay Beach Club on East Mission Bay Drive.
The large marker in the image shows the parking lot. Right off that parking lot is a second marker showing where we will be setting up....right next to the lot under the trees. Here is a Google Map pin to the parking lot. There is additional parking on the street. Avoid the Mission Bay Beach Club parking lot as it has only timed parking.
