Hear Ye! Hear Ye! New Meeting Location
Now that I've got your attention, I'm pleased to announce that we have a new meeting location! Starting with our next meeting, Monday, May 6th, we'll be at Ye Old Lamplighter Restaurant and Pub. They're located at 255 E 40th St in San Bernardino (in the center where the old Stater Brother's was).
They are one of the oldest surviving bars in San Bernardino, and have been around for nearly 50 years! They also say they have the best steaks in San Bernardino, so you may want to come early to order food.
Monday special: Mondays (dinner) $1.50 beef tacos, $3 fish tacos and other Mexican dishes

See you Saturday for Yule?
We're getting all gussied up and ready to have company Saturday for our Yuletide celebration! You will be joining us, right? Don't forget! It's this Saturday, December 8th at the Norton Younglove Senior Center, 908 Park Avenue in Calimesa ($5 donation requested). Ritual starts at 7:00, but you can come as early as six o'clock to have time to set everything down and shmooze a little.
After the ritual, we'll be feasting on ham, turkey and stuffing, more ham, beef brisket, mashed potatoes and gravy... I'm getting hungry just writting this! I'm sure we'll enjoy whatever you bring too!
At some point in the evening, Father Winter will be there with gifts for the kids! You have been good, right? (Let's hope he forgets to bring any coal!)
We'll be singing pagan caroles too! We have the traditional favorites like "A Holly Jolly Yuletide," "Deck the Halls" and "The Holly Tree Carol" and our own personal favorites like "Share the Light," "The Goddess Rest ye Merry, Witch" and "Dancing in a Wiccan Wonderland." Don't worry if you don't know the words, you can pick up a copy for a $1.
I almost forgot about the raffle! We're having an amazing raffle where you have a chance to win some spectacular stuff! There's lots of books, a bejeweled mirror, and even a fairy house! I won't tell if you decide to keep it for yourself. Promise!
And please don't forget to support our military folks with a donation for Operation Circle Care. They're looking for new or gently used pagan jewelry, music, crystals, small God and Goddess statues, pagan books (no nudity!), incense, oils, altar cloths, etc.
Oh! Before I forget, I was asked to please point out that if you click where it says "Location: Norton Younglove Center" at the bottom of this post, it brings up google maps. After all, we wouldn't want you to get lost!

In Honor of our Veterans...

Yule Celebration in Calimesa
It's not even Halloween yet, and we're already talking about Yule?! Yes! Because we're already hard at work planning our annual Yule celebration!
Our spectacular Soltice celebration is being held at the Norton Younglove Senior Center (same place as last year) on Saturday, December 8, 2012. As always, we encourage you to bring your friends and family. We're already hearing the ghosts of whispers that Father Winter will be there with gifts for the kids.
So please join us for an evening of fun, feasting, and merriment! Did I forget to mention the caroling? We'll be singing Yultide carols too! Doors open at 6 o'clock for those who like to show up early. Ritual begins at 7:00 and will be followed by our traditional potluck feast and raffle! Please bring a dish to share for the potluck and if there are five or more in your party, please bring a main dish. We are requesting a $5 donation at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Pagan Pride Day: Saturday, September 29th
Touchstone Local Council will once again be participating in the Inland Empire's Pagan Pride Day and Autumn Harvest Faire! Can you believe they've been doing this for twelve years already?! This awesome event is being held at the California Citrus State Historic Park in Riverside, California (just like last year), from 10 am to 5 pm.
It's going to be a fantastic and fun-filled day! There will be a variety of vendors (including our own Lady O and the Enchanted Crystal), lots of entertainment, several workshops and a family craft area for kids of all ages. Be sure to check their schedule for updates!
Touchstone Local Council will be providing a walk-at-your-own-pace meditational labyrinth laid out in bird seed and will also be doing tarot readings for a small donation.
Although there is no admission fee to the Harvest Faire, please bring a can of food (or more!) for donation to the local food banks in our area. If you donate two cans of food, you will receive a carnival ticket which entitles you to play a carnival game for a fun prize.
