Thursday, January 26 9:45 AM San Diego Airport Tour
We all enjoyed the presentation at our November meeting from the
San Diego Airport Authority. He provided us with a lot of information on the changes and
updates happening at Lindbergh Field. There is a free two hour tour available to see the changes
and improvements and also to get close up on the runways and much more! You will see the
endangered species areas, public art and get close to the runways and more. We ran a similar
tour almost 4 years ago and it was a huge success and now there is more to see and new plans!
The first hour is walking and the second hour is on a bus. The tour is limited to 25 people.

DINING OUT
Thursday, February 23 6:00 PM Asian cuisine in Kearny Mesa
This is an Asian style Grill & Tavern with happy hour pricing. They have good parking, great service, and separate checks. RSVP to Diane.
Torrey Pine's Ethnic Dining Out is a group of adventurous club members who originally met on the Third Tuesday of Each Month, for dinner at different Ethnic restaurants in central San Diego. We don't meet so often currently but our goal is still 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 been meeting ever 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.
HOUSE OF BLUES GOSPEL BRUNCH

Hallelujah! Are you ready to sing and give praise? If so, come join your fellow club members at the House of Blues in downtown San Diego (1055 5th Ave.,619-299-2583) for their Gospel Brunch on Sunday March 4 at 11AM. We will have a wonderful southern brunch while enjoying a gospel choir singing their praises. TPSC did this once before and had a fantastic turnout so we decided to do it again!

CRAZY BRIDGE 
SENIOR MONDAY AT THE R. H. FLEET SCIENCE CENTER
Monday, February 6 Noon
Balboa Park
Entrance Fee (for seniors 65 and better): $7.00
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 $7.00 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.
"Pollinators in Peril: What's up with the Bees?" is the topic for February. Honey bees face multiple natural and man made dangers in their environment. Ironically, they are highly successful because of their use in modern agriculture, yet are suffering because modern agriculture imposes stresses from pesticides, diseases, parasites, and management practices such as mobile beekeeping. Join James Nieh, Professor of Biological Sciences at UCSD, to explore natural threats and the effects of pesticides on honey bee foraging. Learn more about the amazing solutions that bees have evolved to natural perils and how our use of pesticides may be contributing to their decline.
Then the IMAX movie, "ADVENTURES IN WILD CALIFORNIA" celebrates California's natural wonders and unique culture. From the Gold Rush to snow board fever, from the interior of massive Sequoias to the hidden workers on the Golden Gate Bridge, heart-pounding imagery recreates experiences few will ever have. [40 minutes]
