On Sunday, June 12th, 2022 the BABC Northern California and the Saint Andrew’s Society of San Francisco came together at the Fairmont San Francisco for our Afternoon Tea to Celebrate for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. With around 200 guests in attendance, it is fair to say the event was a smashing success. And in true British style, there was plenty of fancy frocks, kilts, hats and fascinators, as well as debonair tops and tails!

There are so many people to thank starting with all of you who joined us on the day. Thank you. It was delightful to have you join us to celebrate this momentous occasion.

To our Raffle, Quiz and Best Dressed Donors: A massive shout out! Your contributions made the day extra special for all of our guests. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone who purchased raffle tickets supporting the Saint Andrew’s Society Foundation.

Our finest thanks to Penfold Wines, who generously donated all of the incredible champagne and wines that were savored. Thanks also to the MacIntosh Pipe Band and the Peninsula Scottish Fiddlers for the wonderful entertainment. And of course, a huge thank you to all of our sponsors and donors for bringing this event to life: Australian American Chamber of Commerce, Baked Blooms, British Benevolent Society, Classic Girl, Crown & Crumpet, Downtown Medical Group, Florin Pensions, The G Spa San Francisco, Global Saint Andrews, Hinman & Carmichael LLP, Kathleen Kimura MBE and Kozo Kimura, Kearsley, Meg White, Saint Andrew’s Society of San Francisco, Scottish Development International, sjDANCEco, Timothy Oulton, Walkers, William Glen & Son, and Withersworldwide.
