Highway 24 lane closures
All lane closures for this project will happen near the Lafayette Station and Oak Hill Road and will only impact the two far-left eastbound lanes of Highway 24. Westbound lanes will not be closed during this work. Expect delays of up to 30 minutes during weekend daytime lane closures.

Hi, CW
We're sorry that we will not be able to attend on Sept 14 as we'll be getting ready for our trip. It seems as the years go by it takes us longer to prepare and we want to be rested up. I've added the future dates to our calendar. Looking forward to October when we can share our latest travel experiences! Until then, happy travels!
Carol (&Tony)

Hi Carol - we'll look forward to hearing about your trip in October.

Buon viaggio!!
Catherine

I'll be there!

Thank you, Catherine, for organizing these travel group meetings!

Marvelous, Christine, I'm looking forward to swapping travel stories with you again!

I am hoping to be able to make it, depending on the timing of a possible conflict. I will let you know for sure on Friday. Do the meetings usually last about an hour?

Hi Barbara, I hope it works out! In August we were all there for 2 hours and some stayed longer.

Please come when you can and stay as long as you're able!

It's looking like I'll be able to attend this meeting, see you on Saturday!

Terrific, Christa, looking forward to meeting you!

Unless the temps are too too hot I am planning to come.
SharYn

Great SharYn! They're showing 76 for Orinda at 11 and creeping towards 84 by 1 or 2pm, at which point there should be shade.

I'll call about 8:30am Saturday morning to reserve tables for our party size.

Wonderful news CW!
I'm looking forward to seeing you and everyone.
And a nice iced latte and a BLTA!
(It's a nice cafe and I'm happy to give them some business. I hope everyone else feels the same way!)

We will both be there on Saturday -- have been looking over the sandwich menu to narrow down our many choices.

Lauri and Ed

An iced latte sounds like just the thing! Good idea to be looking over the sandwich menu. Here it is for others to do the same:

It really is a nice café. The owners have been very pleasant when I've talked with them about our group. I agree, I like giving them our business!!

Hi, I'm coming also!

..and I'll bring a memory book!

BG, I am happy to hear that you're coming. And a bonus that you're bringing a memory book. I'm so interested in seeing what people do!

I will be there!

Marvelous, so glad you can make it!

Just wanted to say thank you for starting this great group—I had a wonderful time, very much looking forward to the next meeting!

Christa - it was great to meet you and hear firsthand about some of your travels. Looking forward to talking again at the next meeting!
