The Rincon Center, protected by the National Register of History Places, is a unique venue for our CALA annual event. The circular space outside of the restaurant glows under a skylight roof, soaring 80 feet or more overhead. In the middle of the skylight is a rain column with water descending like soft rain.

I look forward to the pleasure of seeing you at the CALA Awards Dinner/Reception in San Francisco.

Have a nice and safe trip!

Sally
