Out-of-towners are cordially invited to a Friday night Shabbat dinner at Swans Hotel, 506 Pandora Ave., penthouse suite, starting at 6:00 pm on June 28. 

Swans is a historic hotel now owned by the University of Victoria; Caren won access to the penthouse suite in a charity event. In addition to the suite's comfortable rooms, there is also an outdoor rooftop space where guests may mingle or eat while enjoying a lovely view of downtown Victoria.

Other activities, including a brunch for out-of-towners, will be held during the weekend; details, locations and menus can be found here.
