Now that our fourth year has ended, I have started a new thread
to use for the next (fifth) year, since this one has grown too long:
"SoCal Branch LEAF-Gatherings ... (Year 5, starts September 2014)"

---------------------
Our Forth Year of Gatherings begins here.
Our LEAF family is growing up, with some of our family evolving
with the times, and now arriving in their Rav4EV, or Tesla EVs.
As with any good family, we welcome and enjoy the "growing up",2
since it enriches the group, and provides a better perspective
of the future.
So, the LEAF title for the Gathering evolves to "LEAF & EV"
until we think of something better.
Join us for a Saturday morning breakfast buffet at Hometown Buffet,
or some other location (see below), or for some other special event.
Nominally, we Gather from about 8:15 until about 11:00 AM, but some will arrive
at about 8:00 and some may stay later, if there is enough interest. Some come
for just a while, but have to leave early because they have a "real" life.
I usually try to arrive by 8:00, and am usually among the last to leave.
HTB opens for Breakfast at 8:00, and transitions to their Lunch menu at about 11:00.
Usually, we LEAF-Gather on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month,
but that is often modified to fit the holidays in the month.
Occasionally we have Local Clusters for special events at different locations.

------------ Locations -------------
Hometown Buffet on 17th in Santa Ana:
Located just 2 blocks East of I-5 on 17th street in Santa Ana
1008 EAST 17TH STREET
SANTA ANA, CA 92701
Phone: (714) 541-3020
Their "breakfast" hours are from 7:30 until 11:00 (when "lunch" begins").
I plan to arrive between 8 and 8:30, and stay until at least 11.
Hometown Buffet in Cerritos:
About 0.2 miles east of the 605 freeway. Use the "South Street" exit about a mile south
of the 91 freeway, going east to 11471 South Street. The HTB is north of South Street,
"hidden" behind other buildings in the shopping center.
Cerritos Nissan:
18707 Studebaker Road, just west of 605. Take the first exit south of 91 (South St),
and go west one short block, turning right (north) onto Studebaker Road.
About 0.2 miles north, turn left onto Auto Square Dr. and then left again into Cerritos Nissan.
They have three L2 charging stations, but the two in front are often in use.
They have one QC machine that requires activation by an RFID fob that they keep inside.
After hours, they typically block the entrances to the lot with "blocker" cars.
But, at least when I asked nicely, they were friendly, and helpful in activating the QC.
So, basically charging is only available during business hours.
