Annual ALLIANCE Gala Let's end the Summit with a slightly upscale Beach Gala overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We'll have cocktails in the Lighthouse Courtyard and then delight in fine, world class cuisine surrounded by palm trees and ocean breezes. And what's an ALLIANCE Gala without partying and dancing the night away? We'll have a live band that will entertain us with a variety of dance music including some traditional beach and surf tunes. No one will be sitting this one out!

Saturday Daytime, September 20th

Daytime Tour We'll gather for our last hurrah and a no-host coastal tour from Surf City, USA with a scenic trip down the Pacific Coast Highway, passing quaint towns such as Newport Beach and Corona del Mar! What better way to do this than in a classic, beach-inspired vehicle – mini coaches fashioned after the classic automobile, the Ford Woody! Leisure time will be given on the picturesque island of Balboa. Here we will have lunch together and you will be given free time to explore the unique shops or simply enjoy the boardwalk that runs around the entire island… all 1.5 miles of it.

If touring isn't for you, there are so many things to do on your own or in groups: there are bikes available free of charge, the spa treatments at the hotel are fabulous, you can surf or swim, and there's always shopping! The concierge can help with suggestions and we can, too. Contact Conference Coordinator Annette Reizburg for fun things to do.

Be sure to add this optional event to your registration so that we know we can guarantee your place.
