Upcycle Social Sew/ Art/Fix it/ Finish it! (In person)

Come over and get crafty with us. Camaraderie and clever upcycling ideas circulate at our sessions! What do you want to repair, reuse, or reinvent today? Choose your adventure... Option 1: Social sew! BYO sewing machine, use a loaner, or bring your hand sewing project or mending. We also have some discarded fabric/ clothes ready to cut up and play with and some basic sewing tools, as well. Option 2: Fix it! Repairs are less odious - even fun - with friends, new and old! Bring your broken tchotchkes, dilapidated heirlooms, or jewelry in need of a makeover. We can provide some glues and hand tools. Option 3: Finish it! Bring along an unfinished collage or craft project and get your momentum back. First time on us, $5 donation, no one turned away for lack of funds. Some snacks provided. We invite you to bring a vegetarian snack to share. Please change your RSVP on meetup if you can't make it, so someone else can have a spot. We're looking forward to creating with you! Location notes: The "Joy Factory" is a private home in Alameda's West End. Our house is not wheelchair accessible (1/2 flight of stairs). We have cats. Street parking is sometimes crowded.

Brisk Walk & Shop--SW corner Ordway & Marin, Albany, 11a

We are a warm and friendly group of walkers who like to get a really good cardio workout. We meet at the South West corner of Ordway and Marin. We walk briskly up to Marin circle, and then continue at a moderately fast pace, as far as the top of Marin. If there's a garage sale along the route, we may stop for a few minutes to take a breather and check it out. We welcome newcomers, and often have walkers who walk just part of the route. Over a number of weeks, you can build up the stamina to get to the top of Marin!
