Sheeeesh…I really would have preferred this list to be long and full. I wish it had taken me hours to compile, struggling through the many event details, losing valuable sleep while adding links, hands cramped in agony from typing, etc. Instead, two events…that’s all I could find…
…sigh…

Frankly, I have no idea what this is all about. My shrewd deductive capacities tell me that Macallan is involved somehow, probably a light tasting/pep rally for Macallan as well as a fund-raiser. Follow this link to sign up online, admission is a $5 donation to The Ryder Foundation, a Marin-based charity which funds research and treatment of Autism.
Tuesday – Friday, May 18, 19, 20, 21 6:30pm – 8:00pm (late show of 8:30pm – 10:00pm on Tues., Wed., & Fri.) $5 donation to The Ryder FoundationTerra
