New Website Coming Soon…

12:01 am in General by admin

Thank you for your patience as we develop a new website.

We are confident that the new site will not only provide additional functionality and a better user experience, but it will also provide higher level of anti-spam security, improved user privacy settings, faster log-in with Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo & Google integration.

We plan to launch the new website in the first quarter of 2012.

In the meantime, we have disabled messaging between members and have blocked registration to all new applicants to this website. This is to prevent  automatic spambots from registering and sending spam to our registered members. You will still continue to receive invites to events and correspondence from SCSC.

New applicants may contact us to join mailing list.

All new applicants will be placed on a our temporary mailing list. Upon completion of the new website, you’ll receive an official invite to register on our new website and create your personal profile.

Check out our NEW store!

Please take a moment to explore our new shop.  You’ll a variety of men’s and women’s apparel,  home & office gift items, hats, drink ware, bags and much more. Show your support of SoCal Social Club and pick up something for yourself or a friend.

THANK YOU + UPCOMING EVENTS!

10:46 am in Events by admin

Thank you to everyone who attended our hugely successful mixer at The Office this past week!


We hope everyone had a great time in spite of the overcrowding. With over 180 guests in attendance, we actually reached capacity and unfortunately, the venue was not fully prepared to welcome all our guests despite our staffing recommendations.
We ask that in the future, please cooperate with us and reserve your admission in advance so that we may have an accurate count of attending guests.  This will not only help the host venue plan for staffing and complimentary food but it will also streamline the check-in process. We would hate to turn away guests or charge a higher admission for last minute walk-ins. All of us at SoCal Social Club are very thankful for your amazing support and appreciate the many members who have invited their friends and colleagues to join us.

 

Additionally, please remember that an RSVP via Facebook is NOT guaranteed. Guests must pay for their entry fee via the event’s dedicated page (link always provided on invites).
As a reminder, please remember to abide to our BUSINESS CASUAL dress code at our mixers – Suits and jackets not required but welcomed. Dress shirts preferred for men. Baseball caps, shorts, ripped jeans, athletic wear, tank tops and sandals are not recommended.

 

DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE NEW PHOTOS FROM OUR RECENT EVENTS IN THE GALLERY

Gay LA Tour

12:16 pm in Events by admin

SATURDAY, APRIL 23rd 2011

SOCAL SOCIAL CLUB is excited to partner with Out & About Tours – the first and only gay bus tour in the Hollywood area — that reveals, in an entertaining way, the culturally rich, vital and often hidden gay history in the city of Los Angeles and its relevance to our present-day gay experience.

Start off with a champagne send-off at O&A’s Welcome Center at the ONE Archives Gallery & Museum in West Hollywood.

Chug that bubbly and buckle up, because we leave promptly at 1:00 PM in our Mini Luxury Bus and head downtown to see some of the oldest sites still standing in La La Land and what secret gay history they hold. It’s pedal to the metal to Echo Park and Silver Lake before we make a stop at The Other Side – LA’s last piano bar – for a cocktail and something really special we can’t mention here. Then we floor it to the Golden Age of Hollywood and give you plenty of juicy gossip to make you the star of your next soirée. Hang tight as we bomb down the Sunset Strip and back into WeHo for some of our final points of interests. Are you ready to roll?

These tours sell out fast. Reserve your seats today!!
