Lamorinda Travelers Club

Travelers of the world are united by a sense of curiosity that draws them to seek out adventure. Each new journey forms another chapter in their lives. Lives fueled by the continuous quest for personal discovery are rewarded with trans formative experiences. The Orinda Travel Club was founded to foster friendships through a common passion: travel. Our inaugural meeting will take place on October 23, 2008. Join us then, or on the fourth Wednesday of each month. All meetings will commence at 6:30 p.m. at Orinda Travel, 2 Theatre Square, Suite 160, Orinda, California 94563. A fascinating global community awaits you. We look forward to hearing your story. For information on the Orinda Travel Club, please contact James at (925) 930-3889 or email james.salter@smithbarney.com.
