The Channel City Club
Santa Barbara’s Window on the World
Now approaching its 80th anniversary, the Channel City Club was founded by Louis Lancaster in 1946 to provide Santa Barbara with a local venue for leading experts on state, national and international topics through lectures and discussions.
Channel City Club hosts a special event for members and guests. Commemorating the 250th birthday of the United States, the Reagan Presidential Library is presenting "America 250." This exhibit covers the birth of our nation through the modern era, displaying historical artifacts rarely seen.
Our August 24th day-long field trip begins at 8:45 am with a chartered bus taking 47 Channel City Club members and guests to the Reagan Library and returning to Santa Barbara at 5 pm. Once at the Library, we will have the opportunity to visit various Reagan galleries, be served the "White House" luncheon at Air Force One Pavilion, and have a guided tour of the special America 250 exhibit.
Please note: this trip is limited to 47 tickets.
