On the evening of June 18, join us for an always-fun CalTravel PAC fundraising dinner.

Taylor’s Market, a local gourmet favorite, is our caterer for the dinner. Register HERE.
Wednesday is the Summer Board Meeting, lunch and final instructions, and then Tourism Advocacy Day (formerly Rally Day). Please be sure to stay for the reception after to mingle with legislators, staff, and tourism industry leaders. It is important to show them our strength in numbers!
