July 2026 Dining Around
The July 2026 Dining Around event promises to be a change up from our usual venues. Our hosts, Doris and Dave Stuart, are taking us out of town again for a summer’s day outing. This time we’re going to Finnriver Farm & Cidery, 124 Center Rd, Chimacum, on Friday, July 24, 2026 at 3 PM.
Finnriver is an organic farm, orchard, and craft cidery located along a salmon stream in the Chimacum Valley, the traditional and contemporary territories of the S’Klallam and Chemakum.

Dining Around is all about friendship!
The Dining Around Host makes a reservation at a local restaurant where the members meet for a casual meal and socializing. Everyone orders off the menu and pays their share. The gathering is a great opportunity to enjoy old friends and make new ones.
