Social Cuisine Club of ARF

The Social Cuisine Club of ARF (SCCARF) is dedicated to the enjoyment of casual dining in the company of friends. Once each month the group explores a different restaurant, often discovering overlooked epicurean gems in the SF Valley or, on occasion, in a community "over the Hill." The agenda? Enjoy a meal together; perhaps sample some exotic food; taste a bit of wine; engage in stimulating conversation; and, if the opportunity avails itself, continue the conversation at a member's home nearby.

Between 14 and 20 retired CSUN faculty members and partners usually attend a dinner which is hosted for a night by a SCCARF member. The host contacts a restaurant willing to serve the group and negotiates the arrangements for the affair. Usually some evening during the week is selected with food ordered from the menu. The host also informs the restaurant that we pay a single bill in cash and determines if there is a "corkage fee" if attendees wish to bring their own wine. After working out the details, the host distributes information about the upcoming dinner to the SCCARF members, keeping a record of attendees, distributing a sheet for them to tally ordered items and prices, and collecting funds to pay the final bill.
