Hi {{ first_name | default: neighbor }},
Summer is in full swing around Lamorinda. This week brings a hometown appearance from WNBA star and Miramonte alum Sabrina Ionescu, a Tom Petty tribute concert at Moraga Commons, and another chance to catch The Murder of Roger Ackroyd under the stars in Orinda. It’s one of those weeks where a WNBA celebration, a tribute band, and an Agatha Christie mystery somehow all belong on the same calendar.
🍲 LOCAL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Located in Rheem Center, Royal Siam has been serving Thai food in Moraga for more than 25 years. The restaurant’s menu is rooted in traditional Thai recipes while incorporating California ingredients and influences, reflecting owner Pranom’s experiences growing up around farmers markets and street food culture in Thailand.
🍽️ LAMORINDA DINNER CLUB HEADS TO ORINDA
Our next Lamorinda Dinner Club is heading to Orinda on Wednesday, July 15 at 6:30 PM. We’ll match guests into small tables of six, creating an easy and welcoming way to meet new people from across Lamorinda over a great meal.
Whether you’re new to the community or have lived here for years, it’s a fun way to make connections and discover new conversations. Space is limited and registration is now open.
