On August 17, 2024 (Deb's birthday) Jordyn and Deb took Caltrain up to San Francisco to attend the Golden State Valkyries Open House. The Valkyries is owned by the same owners of the Golden State Warriors
and is the latest expansion franchise to join the WNBA. This event was open to the fans who expressed interest in purchasing season tickets. They were allowed to wander all over Chase Center to see what the
view was like from any seat in the arena. They also got to visit the JP Morgan Club and spoke with Valkyries President, Jess Smith. This was an incredibly well planned event that excited potential season
ticket holders about the organization. It also affords the fans an opportunity to watch a team grow from an upstart expansion franchise into a thrilling thriving team with playoff potential.

So, after Jordyn and Deb finished their tour of Chase Center and figured out where Jordyn might like to sit if she were to buy season tickets, they got on another Caltrain and headed to San Carlos. Dad,
Tyler, and Connor would drive up to meet them at the station and then proceed to Noelani's Island Grill. This is where Deb wanted to celebrate her birthday. It was a good decision as everyone enjoyed their
dinners immensely. Deb made sure to have one their fruity alcoholic beverages too! Afterward, they all went home to open gifts and eat a birthday guava cake that Auntie Pauline bought. Oh, and Deb showed
off her Valkyries gear she bought at the Open House.
