Trips & Tours
One of the perks of membership is the opportunity to join us on specially-planned Trips & Tours.
All are one-day jaunts in Orange, LA or north San Diego counties, and the destinations are chosen based on member interests. We visit or tour a group and often lunch together as well. Our Trips & Tours get rave reviews, and we always have a great time.
Here is the 2025-2026 roster of member Trips & Tours. We hope you’ll join us.
