- 🥪☕️🥐 Saturday morning coffee at COFFEEBAR in RWC (with PA Social Club)Coffeebar, Redwood City, CA
NOTE THE NEW LOCATION FOR THIS SATURDAY. It's a block from Café La Tartine, which closed for good on May 6. Several of us visited Coffeebar recently and thought it might make a nice new home for us. We may try a few places, so watch Meetup each time for the venue until we pick one for good.
It's our much-loved Saturday morning coffee get-together! Come when you can, bring friends if you like, and be sure to welcome new people! We usually meet on the first, third and fifth Saturday of every month, if there is one.
See the Coffeebar web site and its Yelp page for more information.
This event is always also posted on the Meetup site of our partner group Palo Alto Social Club at www.meetup.com/palo-alto-social-club
𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: A good parking choice is the Jefferson Garage at 𝟴𝟯𝟬 𝗝𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗩𝗘. Parking here is free for 1½ hours and $2.50 per hour after that.

- Dutch Uncle at St. James Gate - and May Birthdays!St. James Gate, Belmont, CA
Join us for one of our favorite bands Dutch Uncle at one of our favorite venues St. James Gate - and celebrate our May birthdays too!
Feel free to come a little early to eat, socialize and help us claim and hold spaces for the group. We'll aim for a great spot on the covered back patio as usual. You can dodge the $10 cover charge by arriving before 8pm. Check back for updates before you leave home!
Despite the scary "No Parking" signs in the lots across the street, everyone seems to park there in the evening. The St. James Gate folks tell us not to park in any of the spots in that lot marked "Reserved" though. Street parking is also available, but check for "no parking" zones with painted curbs.
Please drive responsibly, and be very careful crossing Old Country Road on foot! As always, New Beginnings assumes no responsibility for your safety at, or on the way to or from, our events.
One of our May birthday people is Davis, and what Davis wants for this birthday, more than anything else, is for you to give to New Beginnings – especially if you haven't yet become a 2024 Supporting Member (see next item). Davis has put twelve years of his life into New Beginnings, and it's teetering on the edge financially. You can give online or bring a check payable to “New Beginnings” to this event. Thank you!
🔷 Thank you to these 41 people that have already become at least Supporting Members of our cause during 2024! if your name's not here, add your name today!

- 🔆🎶 San Mateo Thursday Music in the Park (most Thursdays 6/20 through 8/8)San Mateo Central Park, San Mateo, CA
It's back! A full season (seven weeks) of San Mateo Central Park Summer Music, every Thursday evening from June 20 through August 8, 2023 (except for July 4). There's live music and dancing from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Food and beverages are available for purchase - or bring wine, snacks or something else to share! Please review the event web site at: www.cityofsanmateo.org/1367/Central-Park-Music-Series
Use the "comments" area of this page to coordinate plans if you like! It's very helpful to have people arrive early with blankets to help us claim and hold a spot for everyone. What's worked best in the past is a location in the middle of the left half of the lawn (as you face the stage), more or less lined up with the flagpole. That way the sun is to our backs, and we're far enough back that we can still talk during the music - when we're not dancing! 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬!
Day-of-event text messages can go to Davis at 650.704.1905
If you're one of the first to arrive, please feel free to post your text/cell number so others can find you.
Here's the tentative band lineup for all seven weeks of this season (will be published as soon as the info is available):
- Thursday, June 20
- Thursday, June 27
- separate New Beginnings July 4 event n Foster City
- Thursday, July 11
- Thursday, July 18
- Thursday, July 25
- Thursday, August 1
- Thursday, August 8
Learn more at: www.cityofsanmateo.org/1367/Central-Park-Music-Series
FYI... for about three more Thursdays after the San Mateo music ends, the super-fun Crow's Nest Summer Beach Parties will continue in Santa Cruz (exact dates to be announced). Save the dates and count on at least one New Beginnings event there! More info (The Beach Parties also start sooner than San Mateo Music does. We'll post the May and June dates as soon as we have them)
