Saluhall Market in SF has been kind enough to reserve the “west wing” for our event on Sat June 07. Typically the venue requires a minimum spend of $2.5k in order to reserve this space for a group. Since we’re a nonprofit community organization they have graciously offered us a reduced rate for this event..
What this means is that the attendees of our group (of which we’re expecting 50-70) should collectively spend a minimum negotiated amount on food & drink with Saluhall vendors; any shortfall will need to be made up by our organization!
Your purchase of a “guest ticket” not only guarantees you a seat at one of our reserved tables, but also counts towards this “minimum spend,” allowing us to forecast total attendees and whether or not we’ll need to budget funds for use of the space.
When purchasing a gift card, you must use the same email address which you RSVP’d with so that we can identify & credit your order against the minimum spend and award you a raffle ticket, if eligible.
Remember, the full value of all gift card tickets can be used at Saluhall Market vendors for food & drink (with the exception of Momo Noodles).

Hi, folks! A reminder that the EGL (euro-gaming league) gathers weekly to play euro & other types of board games at the Game Parlour, 6pm every Monday. If you haven’t come out in a while, we’d love to see you again!
Our group is always welcoming to new folks, whether experienced board gamers or not. No need to bring any games, nor spend a half hour reading rules … the Game Parlour has a huge library of board games and our members are always happy to recommend and teach a variety of games!
Remember that our focus is on building community while introducing folks to the modern breed of fun, engaging games (‘not your father’s Monopoly’), so we hope you’ll join us any given Monday for a night full of fun games & fab people =)
