Dinner event at the park Join us for a casual evening of food, ice cream, and conversation at Central Park (South Section, 275 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena), just a 10-minute (0.5 mile) walk from the conference center (map). The gathering will take place from 6:00–9:00 p.m. following the poster session. Dinner will be available to purchase from 6:00–8:00 p.m. from Pickles and Peas and Dina's Dumplings, with gluten-free and vegan options available. Complimentary ice cream will also be served, generously provided through a donation from Anne Leak. Everyone is welcome. The park has water fountains, bathrooms, and some benches, but attendees may wish to bring a picnic blanket or other portable seating for added comfort. If you need assistance getting to the park, please contact Jayson Nissen at 406-581-1982. |
