Dinner with friends Whisknladle recently launched a monthly Supper Club for guests to enjoy an evening of exquisitely themed and prepared pre-fixe dinners and fine wine, while also expanding their social circles in an intimate 12-person setting. Supper Club dinners take place each Saturday throughout the summer at 7:30 p.m., with rotating menu themes each month. For the month of June, Whisknladle will host “Escoffier to Bras: A Trip through French Cuisine” to encourage lively conversation amongst new friends over fine French fare. Because Whisknladle’s Supper Club is intended for strangers to meet together over a family-style meal and friendly chat, reservations are limited to parties of four or less. Tickets, including wine pairings, are $75 per person. For more information, visit www.whisknladle.com or call (858) 551-7575. Making a splash To beat the heat, the La Jolla Aquatic Complex Foundation is inviting community members to come enjoy a day of fun in the sun at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex for its annual “Splash Bash” community pool party on June 10. The noon-to-4 p.m. event will include live music by The Luke Daniels Band, entertainment by Extreme Parties, an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of hot dogs, sliders and ice cream, and inflatable pool toys and inner tubes for the kids to enjoy in the complex’s Olympic size swimming pool. Admission to the event is just $5 and includes all food and activities. Coggan Family Aquatic Complex is located at 800 Nautilus St., on the southeast side of La Jolla High School’s campus. For more information, call (858) 456-0945 or visit www.cogganaquatics.org. Taste what’s new To get a taste of what Westfield UTC is cooking up in its grand renovation plans, the local shopping center will host a free, family-friendly weekend event, “A Taste of Westfield UTC,” to show off its newly revitalized dining terrace. For the weekend of June 1-2, the dining terrace and entire Sports Chalet wing will transform into a festive atmosphere, complete with live music, face painting, balloon artistry and live entertainment for kids and adults. The lively kid-folk duo Hullabaloo will make an appearance on June 1 at 11 a.m. and June 2 at noon for some kids tunes that parents too are sure to enjoy. The popular children’s act Clint Perry & the Boo Hoo Crew will also take the stage on June 2 at 11 a.m. to “put a smile on you” with its upbeat, hour-long musical performance. Special deals from new and existing food retailers, prizes and giveaways will be offered throughout the two-day event.
