Neutra House Conference Center

Join us this Sunday, either in person or online, as we welcome our presenter.
The Boy Scouts of America, now called Scouting America, started operation in the United States in 1910 and it has undergone significant changes since that time. This talk will be about the Boy Scouts, its mission, history, structure, and the current membership of the organization. We will discuss the inclusion of girls in the traditionally all-boys program and the recent government interaction in shaping the scout program. There has been a lot of news about scouting in the last few years, so after an introduction and some background information, the talk will follow whatever path the audience wants to follow. Come with questions and the speaker will do his best to provide the answers. A short Bio: Robert Wedig is a typical Silicon Valley engineer, now retired, who spends his time working with the Boy Scouts. He is an Eagle scout and the father of two former scouts. He has been involved in scouting for over 40 years and he is currently an assistant scoutmaster, unit commissioner, member of the advisory board for the Silicon Valley Monterey Council and the chairman of the National Religious Relationships Committee. Robert believes scouting is the best youth organization to help young people become the ethical leaders of tomorrow and he enjoys helping them achieve this goal.

Amara

Amara is where the Mediterranean comes to play! A sun-soaked garden, bold flavors, and a vibe that pulls you in and keeps you there. By day, it’s the place for long, lazy brunches and families sharing plates in the shade. By night, the energy shifts, cocktails flow, music hums, and the garden feels like a secret you’re lucky to know. Every dish is crafted from peak-season ingredients, inspired by coastlines and cultures where life moves a little slower and tastes a little better. One visit won’t be enough and that’s exactly how we like it. Our Philosophy Food &amp; Drink At Amara, the food and drink share the same philosophy start with the best ingredients and let them shine. We work with local farms and the weekly farmers market to source peak-season produce, ensuring every plate is as fresh, vibrant, and nourishing as it is delicious. Cocktails follow the same principle, mixed with market-fresh herbs, citrus, and spices into creations that feel inventive yet effortless. It’s quality without pretension, made for people who truly care about what’s on their plate and in their glass. Space Amara is designed to transport a sunlit garden, airy interiors, and cozy corners are perfect for lingering. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rugged coastlines and warm hospitality, our space blends natural textures, lush greenery, and flowing water to create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. It’s where you can sink in, slow down, and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Events at Amara From long, lazy brunches to lively Thursday DJ nights, Amara offers experiences as dynamic as its setting. Our garden and private spaces host everything from intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, while seasonal events like Diwali dinners or chef’s table tastings make every visit feel unique. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine at golden hour or a full evening under the stars, there’s always something to draw you back. Check Happenings to see current
