Dear HOS Members, The House of Pacific Relations (HPR) did not get the city permit for the Ethnic Food Fair (EFF) so there will not be EFF on the Memorial Day weekend. However, due to some of the members asking about when we were going to have paella available, HOS will cook one paella on Saturday 28 of May for those of you that would like to come and buy the paella at the casita. Paella will be ready and available for sale from 11:00 AM until it is all sold out. Some of you may remember when we celebrated the Battle of San Diego Bay (BOSDB) inside the Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL), at the base of the Fort Guijarros Museum plaque monument, with the 1803 Flags of Spain and the United States.

This year we will have a small version of the BOSDB on Saturday 11 of June at NOON. The NBPL CEO has given us the approval for this event and the Consul General of Spain in Los Angeles has accepted to come. HOS will be sending the information to our members, and we will need you to RSVP to the email in June. We will need the first names and last names of the persons that are planning to come so they will be allowed into the NBPL. This event will be much smaller that previous years, and there will be NO PAELLA OR DANCES, JUST A CEREMONY AND GET TOGETHER AT THE NBPL.
