Camino Welcome Home Potluck & Party
Oakland, CA
Saturday, November 12, 2016, 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM
Help us celebrate this year’s returning pilgrims at our annual Welcome Home Potluck & Party on Saturday, November 12. Well be gathering at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Oakland, near the border with Berkeley. Were excited to have fellow pilgrim, Stephanie Dodaro, give a special presentation on her California El Camino Real Walk from Sonoma to San Diego in 2012. As always, returnees will have an opportunity to introduce themselves and share a little about their experience. And lets continue our winning record by bringing along a super-delicious dish to share (main, side, salad, dessert). Extra points for something inspired by the Camino. Wine counts, too! Doors open at 10:30 AM and we plan to finish up by 3:30 PM. RSVP required (see below for instructions).
