Dear Members and Friends of the BABC Northern Callifornia,
It's hard to believe that November is here! The year certainly seems to have flown by. Our biggest news this month is that we have launched ticket and table sales for the 58th Annual Christmas Luncheon. This is the best news of the year thus far for BABC and we are all looking forward to the event and re-connecting with our members and friends.
Our Executive Director, Jo Healey, tells me that despite having only launched the event last week, we are already over 60% sold out, due to the event being smaller this year to allow for some sensible Covid protocols. You can learn what these are at this webpage.
As a reminder, only members can purchase tickets and tables to this event, so you if you are not a member of the BABC yet, please consider joining the organization for your chance to participate in our much-loved flagship event. You can learn more about membership here.
For our Top Tier Members (Patron, Premier and Corporate Levels), we are hosting an in-person reception together with Premier Member ZEDRA in the Penthouse at the Fairmont San Francisco on Friday, November 30th and will be joined by Her Majesty's Deputy Consul General, Tammy Sandhu, and Head of USA for Virgin Atlantic Airways, Simon Hawkins. Please join us if you can. Space is limited. More information here.
Finally, I'd like to give a warm welcome to our newest members, Fieldfisher (returning) and IDA Ireland as well as say thank you to the members renewing below.
Sincerely,
Stephen Wares, President

There's no Place like Fairmont San Francisco
for the Holidays!
|
|
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! |
|
|
|
For more than a century, Fairmont San Francisco has enchanted guests with its joyful holiday festivities and exuberant seasonal ambiance. From our life-sized Gingerbread House and Holiday Tea to staying in Santa’s very own Suite, we have something for everyone to cheer for. |

Our annual Adopt-A-Family Program continues to help families at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness enjoy a holiday season full of warmth and joy. As the COVID-19 pandemic stretches on, families continue to experience reduced work hours and layoffs. Your generous contributions enable families to enjoy the holidays while maintaining financial stability.
Last year, Raphael House's Adopt-A-Family Program supported 132 families and 286 children in our Residential Shelter and post-shelter Bridge Programs. We hope you'll join us once again for this tradition that helps families participate in the festivities without putting their financial stability at risk.
