Lulu's is 52 miles from Claremont. Not doable without some charge, and the week-day traffic could be a problem. Enjoyed the Burbank meeting; hope to see you folks again at some other location.
The Saturday potluck breakfast at JPVLeaf's and her family in Irvine attracted something like 9 Leafs, 12 adults, a few kids. Only I lived far enough away to need charge, and that was not critical (38 miles 1-way).
My area seems worse than yours in terms of attracting Leafers to share a meal. EricH, who is not too far from me, joined us in Cerritos last month, and I know of other nearby Leaf owners, but I am not sure they even participate in this forum.
Would some of your group be willing to travel to Pasadena ? there are a lot of good restaurants there, and that is easy for me without extra charge. There also is some L2 charge available, but not free.
