DINING OUT
Tuesday, August 24 6:30 pm
Thai Cuisine in Point Loma
This is our favorite Thai restaurant. Lots of parking, costumed
waitresses, and delicious food.
Torrey Pine's Ethinic Dining Out is a group of adventurous club
members who meet on the Third Tuesday of Each Month, for dinner at different Ethnic
restaurants in central San Diego. Our goal is to find authentic, Mom and Pop establishments, in
ethnic neighborhoods that are clean and reasonably priced. Our first meeting was at La Sevilla on
December, l994 and we have met continuously since! We have visited more than 55 different
restaurants representing 34 different cuisines!! Between 4 and 20 attend and new members are
welcome anytime.
Since we need to inform these (usually small) restaurants of our visit,
reservations are essential so we can let the restaurant know how many to expect.
RSVP REQUIRED!

SPECIAL EVENTS
SENIOR MONDAY AT THE R. H. FLEET SCIENCE CENTER
Monday, August 2 Noon Balboa Park
Entrance Fee (for seniors 65 and better): $6.00
If you're 65+ get together with other Torrey Piners for Senior Monday at
the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. The entrance fee of only $6.00 includes a
lecture at 12:30, all current exhibits, and the 2:00 pm IMAX movie. The lecture takes place in the
Grayson Boehm Lecture Hall.. Lectures often sell out so come early to purchase lecture tickets
by 11:00 a.m. and then enjoy the galleries and special senior discounts in the cafe and store before
the lecture.
In August, Richard W. Halsey, a chaparral ecologist, writer, and director of
The California Chaparral Field Institute, a non-profit research and educational organization
focusing on California's shrubland ecosystems will speak on "Chaparral & Wildfire". Of
all the distinct, natural communities in California, only one is found throughout and only one can
be said to represent the state's most characteristic wilderness: the chaparral. Join us as we explore
the chaparral's unique natural history, reveal the truth concerning its many myths and surprising
mysteries, and why it represents such a vital link to nature for all Californians. We will also
discuss how we can create fire safe communities and protect our natural environment at the same
time.
Then in the IMAX movie, "RING OF FIRE", we'll see
spectacular volcanic eruptions, including Mount St. Helens. This film is about the immense
natural force of the great circle of volcanoes and seismic activity that rings the Pacific Ocean and
the varied people and cultures who coexist with them. [38 minutes]
