Heya, boychiks and girlchiks and everything in between and beyond!
The day you’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! Open Registration for San Diego ComicCon is here!
Oh, wait! That’s the wrong announcement…that’s the day DJ has been waiting for!
The day YOU’VE been waiting for is December 13th, 2025! Which is when we will hold the much anticipated Southern California CP Society’s Holiday Potluck Bonanza brought to you by LACPS, SCCPE and SDCPS!
Mark your calendars today so you don’t forget because of a Thanksgiving tryptophan coma!
Saturday, December 13, 2025 from 11:00 to 16:00.
Sherman Library & Gardens, 2647 East Coast Hwy., Corona Del Mar, CA 92625
We expect the meeting to be in the big room near the kitchen/dining area. If not, it should be obvious where it is; the gardens aren’t that big.
There is normally an entry fee required to visit the gardens. However, it will be waived if you inform garden staff that you are there for the carnivorous plant meeting.
Lot’s of good food (hopefully), lots of plants (presumably) and plenty of good fellowship (almost certainly). This is a Pot Luck so the advice is, bring something you like because if you like it, surely someone else will, too! This can be a main dish, a side dish, a desert, or even drinks. Bring whatever quantity you’re comfortable bringing. Please arrive on time with your food if possible.
Toy Drive! Unwrapped, new…toys, sports equipment, movie tickets, games.
Dirty Santa Gift Exchange! If you want to participate, bring a wrapped gift of about $20 in value! (more in value is appreciated, less is frowned upon)
You are encouraged to bring plants to show off and/or sell. There will also be a raffle to help raise funds to defray event costs and support other Society/Enthusiast activities.
As usual, this is also an opportunity to pick up LACPS (and other clubs’) swag, the NEW(ish) LACPS T-Shirts available for $25 (Cheap!), which make great holiday gifts! And we still have a few of our really high quality baseball hats! Made of solid fabric and a solid Velcro fastener (not those cheap plastic ones that break down in the light after a couple years), it boasts an embroidered LACPS logo above the bill of the cap and is extremely useful protecting your eyes from harsh sunlight while hunting CP in the Field. There is an EXTREMELY limited number of these available (only TWELVE were ever made) so get one while you can! They are $38 each due to the production costs of this super limited run.
We need help with setup, so arrive early if you can, and breakdown, so stay late if you can.
