Founders Hall patio. Our pets bring so much joy, comfort, and unconditional love into our lives. Let’s celebrate them! All are welcome to our community Blessing of the Animals.

Whether you have a dog, cat, bird, or lizard, we want to celebrate the special bond you share.
We will have a short blessing ceremony, bluegrass music with a live band, refreshments for pets and their owners, and plenty of fellowship.
There will be a "quiet space" for our more socially challenged fur friends.
Bring your friendly pets on a leash or in a carrier - or bring or email a photo of your pet to put on our Blessing Bulletin Board. Stuffed Animals are also welcome to receive a blessing.

Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course

Twenty years after the passing of San Diego attorney David S. Robbin, his family and community are gathering on the golf course to honor him and help the next generation of lawyers get their start.
The inaugural DSR Invitational will take place Saturday, Nov. 7, at Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course in Solana Beach. The 18-hole tournament has nearly filled its field of 72 golfers across 18 foursomes, with proceeds benefiting the David S. Robbin Memorial Scholarship at the University of San Diego School of Law. 
With a limited number of spots remaining, organizers welcome support through sponsorships, raffle items, golfer gifts, food and beverage contributions, experiences and direct gifts to the scholarship. Details are available on the <a href="https://dsrmemorial.netlify.app/#top" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">event website</a> and <a href="https://partiful.com/e/NntkppDRuzR44p8ylhE7?c=bL4o9gPx" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Partiful page</a>.
