Laney College Dinner Member Meetup
Thursday, April 23rd at
the Laney Bistro
Let’s grab our trapper keepers (aka notebooks) and sharpen our pencils because the Culinary Arts Department Chair/Executive Chef and Dame, Chantal Martin, is inviting SF Dames to a three-course prix-fixe dinner at the Laney Bistro at Oakland’s own, Laney College. This Member Meetup is a unique and tasty way to support one of the most acclaimed culinary schools in Northern California.
We’ll meet at 5:30 on April 23rd at the Laney Bistro, conveniently located just a few blocks away from the Lake Merritt BART Station for a presentation by Dame Chantal so we can learn more about the history of the program, followed by a $40 three-course dinner. While there won’t be a test afterwards, there will be a guided tour. Everyone is more than welcome to bring a bottle of wine or other adult beverage to enjoy with dinner if they would like. Plan on an evening of fun, higher education, and fellowship. Please buy your tickets before April 16th!
We are pre-selling tickets through our registration, but we ask Dames to bring cash for student tips.
May Member Meetup at Spark Social
May 14, 2026 at 5:30 pm
Join us on May 14th for a casual member meet-up at Spark Social in San Francisco. We will be taking over an area of picnic tables to gather and connect. Attendees can purchase food and drink at any of the food trucks in the park. This is a perfect opportunity to bring a potential member as your guest so we can answer any questions and introduce them to the group.
Since the park is open to the public, we cannot provide an exact table location, but look for us under the tents. We’ll have a Les Dames sign and will be there to welcome you. More about Spark Social here.
