What to expect:

Earlier this evening Branch 25 was present for this Digital Moose Lounge and Canadian Studies Program at the University of California, Berkeley – a beautifully curated Thanksgiving Dinner at the UC Berkeley Canadian Studies Alumni House. Members celebrated the special occasion with their Bay Area “family” with fallen leaves and fresh fall air on the patio in beautiful Berkeley.

The menu included:

  • Classic Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the fixings
  • Two drink tickets to enjoy a curated selection of Canadian wine, beer and non-alcoholic options
  • A Selection of Desserts
  • Gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian options available
  • Raffle with fabulous prizes
  • Entertainment

Branch 25 was on hand to launch its annual Poppy Campaign.

Thank you to our hosts the Canadian Studies Program at the University of California, Berkeley and the Digital Moose Lounge, as well as the Canadian Consulate in San Francisco and Air Canada for their continued partnership with this special event!
