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.
Our Annual Awards Celebration, honoring the past year’s recipients of our awards, grants, and scholarships, will take place on Monday, June 1st, 5:30-8:00 p.m. at The Civic Kitchen Cooking School, in San Francisco, co-owned by Dame Jen Nurse. Join us at this festive reception to meet the winners and celebrate our chapter’s ongoing philanthropic efforts. We will also announce new scholarship and grant programs that our chapter is undertaking!
Light bites and beverages will be available from Lizzy Binder, Little Saints, Batter Bakery (grant winner), Ashes & Diamonds Winery, Noe Valley Bakery, Taste Catering, and Prospect (more to come).
We will also host a raffle this year benefiting the chapter’s general fund. If your company would like to donate products or services, please fill out the raffle form here.
