GATHERINGS & MIXERS
October General Meeting – Germany Theme
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 · 6:00 PM
Napa Women’s Club, 218 Franklin Street, Napa, CA
The Napa Women’s Club Evening Edition invites members and guests to join us for our October General Meeting, celebrating the vibrant culture and cuisine of Germany. Each monthly meeting this year features a new country, and this month we’re embracing the hearty spirit of Oktoberfest!
Our evening will feature a potluck inspired by German favorites, from classic bratwurst and schnitzel to comforting Eintopf stews, Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes), Käsespätzle (cheesy egg noodles), and sauerkraut. Attendees are also welcome to bring a bottle of red, white, or sparkling wine to share.
We encourage everyone to bring a touch of Germany to our décor — flags, steins, or any Bavarian accents you may have. Arrive a bit early to help set the scene as part of our “Decor Divas” team!
📝 RSVP:
