South Bay
January Luncheon

South Bay Chapter’s January Luncheon was a small, intimate affair…we braved the torrential rains and wind that SoCal is facing to meet at the Chado Tea Room.  We all had a rather splendid time!

Announcing our 2024 Convention Site - Savannah, GA!
Go to the Convention page for more details.

Picture a place where beauty and history converge, where Southern charm is found along cobblestone streets and amongst oak-lined squares dripping with Spanish moss. Picture Kiwis gathering in April 2024 for their national convention in Savannah Georgia.


We are very excited to announce that following in-depth research on several potential sites, we have selected Savannah for our next convention. The city is consistently listed as one of the top cities to visit by the leading travel magazines. It is clean and safe, easy to get around in and unique in many ways. The principal dates are April 23-25, 2024, our hotel is The DeSoto.


Convention Chairperson, Caroline Ballachey Womack (Golden Gate and Music City chapter member) and her committee of Kiwis from across the country are beginning to formulate plans to make this a definite not want to miss event. More information will be posted regularly on this website and in the early spring edition of the Kaleidoscope. Mark your calendars now for our next great Kiwi gathering.
