Following the ride, guests will reunite at The Pub’s enchanting outdoor patio for live music, gourmet food, auction items and, of course, wine.  Cuba After Castro Night at Point Loma Library

A Wings of Rescue flight transferred these pets to San Diego Humane Society, Rancho Coastal Humane Society and Labradors and Friends from Acadiana Animal Aid to create space for pets who were being evacuated from Texas and Louisiana when Hurricane Harvey made landfall last week.
