(NBC Bay Area) — The Obamas seems to be making a habit of visiting the Bay Area.
First Lady Michelle Obama visited earlier in the summer to raise money for her husband’s re-election campaign and the Democratic party.
Now her husband is set to do the same thing.
President Barack Obama will visit the monetary heart of Silicon Valley in two weeks for two private receptions at the homes of wealthy supporters.
Mr. Obama will be the guest of honor at a reception at a private peninsula home on Sunday afternoon Sept. 25 followed by evening dinner in Atherton.
The location of the early reception is the Woodside home Symantec CEO John Thompson and his wife Sandi. The entrance price at the Thompson’s is $2,500 without a picture or $7,500 with a photo of yourself and the president.
The evening meal will be far more costly. A dinner date with Mr. Obama will cost a cool $35,800. Anyone willing to spend the money to eat with the president is welcome to come.
The hosts are Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg and her husband David Goldberg. Sandberg is getting used to having famous faces knock on her front door. She had Oprah Winfrey over for dinner just last week after the former talk show host held a townhall for her Facebook fans.

Erskine Bowles joins Facebook board
By MICHELLE QUINN | 9/7/11 4:02 PM EDT
SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook has added another Washington hand to its leadership team: Erskine Bowles, former White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, has joined the Facebook board of directors, the company announced Wednesday.
Bowles now serves as president emeritus of the 17-campus University of North Carolina system and recently was co-chairman of President Barack Obama’s bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.

Wait, that`s got to be wrong.
They are charging Obama $35,800 for me to eat with him right?
It would take a lot more than that to get me to eat with him.
????????????
No thanx—I hope i never need 35 grand that bad!!!!!
What kind of food do you get for $35,800???;)
35 grand for dinner? Well, I have to change my plans. I think I will go through the drive-thru on the way home instead.
More crony capitalism from Mr. Hopey-changey
What kind of drooling goon would shell out that kind of cash to be seen with obama? Bet his guests aren’t spending their own cash.
Keep repeating to yourself:

Wonder how many residents of Port Au Prince you could feed for $35,800?
If the MSM/Dem narrative is correct, Republicans want to cut taxes for these Obama donors. I’ve changed my mind. LET’S TAX THEM TO THE POORHOUSE!
I’d charge him a cool million at least. Plus medical expenses if I couldn’t keep dinner down due to his presence while I was eating.
Or hungry people in drought ridden villages?
35K for a bad case of indigestion?
Can I get that to-go?
Progressivism is an alliance of the rich and poor against the middle class.
No, the story got it wrong. He sits on a chair above a pool and its 35k for three balls to dunk him.
I’d charge Obama at least 100k to dine with me, and even then, I’d likely just keep his money and not show up.
I can’t swallow food and look at him, I may choke.
If it’s `all you can eat’ they’ll lose money on Mooseshell.
