Dinner Meetings

The Orange County Section usually holds dinner meetings on the 3rd Thursday of every month except during the summer (June-August). Unless combined with special events like the High School or College Awards Dinners, they are held at the DoubleTree Club Hotel in Santa Ana.

During the COVID-19 pandemic period, these meetings were held virtually.
