Welcome, Dear Readers!

11:00am - 4:30pm
Our summer meeting is extra-special. Combining a sumptious, historically accurate meal featuring recipes from Jane Austen's time and a two-hour professional performance of Northanger Abbey, this meeting is not to be missed. Seating is limited and preregistration is required.
Northern California hosts a large, active and enthusiastic group of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA). We meet in the San Francisco area quarterly in March, June, September and December. Our meetings are a pleasant mix of pure Jane Austen topics, and topics that relate to the historical and cultural context in which she lived and worked.
Anyone with an interest in Jane Austen's works, life, and times is welcome to attend. Our members come from all walks of life. Whether you're a doctorial candidate working on a thesis on Jane's Chawton years or you just can't stop watching all 12 hours of the BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, you'll meet kindred spirits here.
To become a member of our Northern California group, you must also join at the national level. Member benefits include invitations to meetings and events, the opportunity to meet and network with fellow Janeites, and access to our audio-visual circulating libraries. We would love to meet you, and hope to see you soon!
