\n\nEast County Magazine proudly \;announces launch of our East County Dining Club! \;

\n\nTry fabulous foods\, win amazing \;prizes\, bring your friends and \;meet new ones\, plus help sustain nonprofit news in the public interest and wildfire/emergency alerts for East County.
\n\nSign up for invitations to future East County Dining Club adventures to savor cuisines from around the world (and the best American foods\, too!)-- all in East County. \; Email \;editor@eastcountymagazine.org \;with "\;Dining Club"\; in the subject line.
\n\nReservations and payment are required by Aug. 21 for this very special dining club launch party. See the delicious details below!
\n\nHow it works: \; \;Each restaurant donates 15% or more of proceeds to benefit East County Magazine and our \;East County Wildfire &\; Emergency Alerts.
\n\nDining club members enjoy a variety of feasts at all different price ranges\, with invitations to at least one event monthly. \; You can also win thousands of dollars in prizes through drawings and silent auctions\, meet the media\, and at some events enjoy music\, meet winemakers\, chefs or special guests. \;
\n\nCost: \; \;Each event is priced separatedly based on the restaurant. Some events will be open menu/pay at event\, others a prix-fixe menu which diners prepay. \;
\n\nLaunch Party Cost: \;Our launch party \;($45 including all-you-can eat gourmet dinner\, tax\, tip and winetasting) requires prepayment by August 20\, as we have to prepay the restaurant for this extra-special feast which requires advance preparations by Fabrison'\;s..
\n\nThere is also an annual $10 fee to cover our overhead\, to be paid no later than the third event you attend. Members will receive a cookbook with recipes from participating restaurants\, all pre-chosen by our restaurant reviewers\, plus more special recipes from wineries\, farms\, and our reviewers\, and 2 free \; prize drawing tickets as thanks. When you renew each year\, you will receive additional recipes and tickets.
