Our next quarterly meeting of the TCC Charter Chapter (Los Angeles/Orange County) will be held on Saturday, June 14, at the historic Tam O’Shanter Inn in Los Angeles, where Matthew Allison will present a captivating program on Mali.
Focusing on his two journeys to Mali — an initial trip in 2013 when he trekked across Dogon Country, and, more recently, a visit to Timbuktu — Matthew will describe how the country has changed over the years, discuss the current security situation, and share how it’s still possible to visit Mali safely with the right planning and precautions.
The Tam O’Shanter, Los Angeles’ oldest restaurant operated by the same family in the same location, will be celebrating its 103rd anniversary the month we meet! The restaurant is located just a few blocks east of Interstate 5 (Golden State Fwy.), using the Los Feliz Blvd. exit from either the north or south. It is near Griffith Park to the west and Glendale to the east and is just north of Dodger Stadium and south of the L.A. Zoo. Easy to find; if coming from the south, just stay on Interstate 5 past Downtown L.A., exiting at Los Feliz Blvd.
