  • An Invitation to the December 2026 Charter Chapter Holiday Luncheon at Lawry’s The Prime Rib

    Proving an evening dress and Easter Island can provide for an exotic travel experience, TCC member Pauline Chakmakjian will offer “The Great Escape to The High Seas” at our December program.

    Our next meeting of the TCC Charter Chapter (Los Angeles/Orange County) will be held on Saturday, Dec. 12, when we return to the popular Lawry’s The Prime Rib for our festive Annual International Holiday Luncheon.

    Our special presentation will be given by TCC member and cruise ship enrichment lecturer Pauline Chakmakjian, who will take us on “The Great Escape to The High Seas.” In an overview of this rapidly expanding mode of travel, Pauline will explore various types of cruising, popular routes, land and sea combination travel, themed cruising, and the interesting travelers who “see the world by sea!”

    An accomplished author on art and history topics, Pauline will offer signed copies of her beautifully-illustrated The Sphinxing Rabbit trilogy for those interested.

    Lawry’s is located on Beverly Hills’ famous “Restaurant Row,” just one block north of Wilshire Boulevard. Seating is limited so please RSVP immediately!
