Join the festivities at our Annual Holiday Party!!
This year, we are invigorated to host our in-person Holiday Luncheon at the Italian themed restaurant, Buca di Beppo in Encino. A wide Giveaways, fun, conversation, too. Our nominal cost is $35 per per person. Holiday party garb is encouraged!

We have selected Buca's "Magnifico" lunch menu which will be served family style.

To see the "Magnifico" lunch menu, click on the tab "menu" and then the "group dining" link and page down to the "Magnifico" lunch menu. We will be choosing from this menu for the luncheon.
As at past holiday parties, we will continue our UCLARA tradition of collecting donations for the UCLA Community Programs Food Closet. We can make a difference in the lives of the many students who visit this closet on a daily basis. Last year we collected over $1,300.00 in gift cards to support the students. If you would like to contribute, please bring a gift card from Ralph’s (the nearest grocery store to campus). Be sure to bring the gift card's receipt.
Please note that our luncheon is taking 2 adjacent rooms so that there is space enough to walk around, chat with friends and take photos. No stairs.
Parking: Behind the restaurant in their parking lot-free! There is limited street parking within walking distance of the restaurant.
Payments: The Association’s payment processor, AffiniPay, can process credit cards from Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. For each credit card payment, you’ll need to enter the CVV number (i.e., security code, generally 3 or 4 digits) found on the back of the credit card as well as the card number and expiration date. You'll also be asked for the other usually requested information to complete the transaction.
If you prefer to pay by check, kindly make the check out to "UCLARA" and mail to Michael Heafey
