Gambier and Burrows - Plaza Renovation Workday - 11.13.10
Thanks to all the volunteers who came to work toward the revitalization of this very neglected park entrance. The weather couldn't have been better. The turnout was incredible. There was hardly a shovel left for the volunteers at one point. The food was awesome.
A special thanks to our good friend and chef Bob Lopez, our childcare specialist and neighbor Jeannie Crawford, tile expert and neighbor Martin who's grout instruction will help us throughout the mosaic tile project, RPD's best Zack Taylor, Robert Watkins and crew who went through extraordinary efforts to remove the incredibly heavy pressure treated bollards out of the ground, to the kids from BuildOn who persevered until every last load of sand was removed that afternoon, to all our members, neighbors and friends who collectively made this project such a big success (you all know who you are...there's just too many names to mention everyone here), and to Sunset Scavengers for the donated debris box's.
The next steps are already under way. The new benches/bbq's are being ordered using SF Beautiful/Parks Trust grant money as well as private monies donated to the group by neighbors. Soon the decomposed granite will be delivered and then the landscaping and a center piece will be installed probably on another workday. Thank You!

Jerry Day at McLaren Park -8.1.10We were invited to put together and work a community booth for Jerry Day by Tom Murphy, one of the creators of Jerry Day itself. It was a lot of fun and we had many sign ups as well. Thanks to Sue Zimmer and her amazing daughter Samantha for helping me out and to all the many visitors who came by to say hello.

Community Meeting/Peru St. Playground - 7.31.10
Saturdays event was well attended. If you include a few late comers and all the kids, we had 51 attendees! An awesome turnout... so a big thank you to all who braved the terrible SF summer weather to come and help be a part of the new design for the Peru St playground. And like always, if you made it, you would have been pleasantly surprised on how much nicer the conditions were, weather-wise, at this location. One of the big reasons why we are going forth with this site.
For any of you who missed last Saturdays meeting, you will have another chance to fine tune the design on August 21st when we meet once again at the Peru St play area to see the preliminary designs by Leslie Golden. So please mark your calendars!

McLaren Park Clean Up Day - 6.12.10
Just a big thank you to all who came out to help pull weeds on this incredibly beautiful day. We were all blessed with shade and a warm breeze to help keep us cool.
Though it was a huge sucess and we made great progress, we werent able to finish the task unfortunately, so it looks like we need a repeat. The park gardeners feel that one more work party might be enough to get us through the summer. The date isn't set but were looking at 1 month from now approximately.
