The end of August also marks the anniversary for our org., and a half year anniversary for our first event in SF -- the Pillow Fight in Embarcadero square on Valentine Day's evening. We have crossed long distance since then, walked in most of the major events and parades in the city, and volunteered in many: The Chinese New Year, Cherry Blossom, the Carnaval, the Pride, North Beach, Fillmore Jazz, Nihonmachi Japantown, Stern Grove, etc. etc.. Also the local festivals, the state park volunteering, and the local Golden Hour walks ...

It is a time to look back, it is also more a time to look forward. At the turn of the season, we would like to invite our alumni, who have attended our events, and those who are interested in our future activities, to go with us, to take ferry together to visit the beautiful Angel Island at the center of the bay. Bring your friends. Fellow volunteers, community builders? You are especially welcome.

A special invitation to those new in towns. In our recent events, we noticed a high percentage of new comers. So come to meet your fellow freshmen in bay area, and make some joint activity plans.

There are a few options to spend the day on the island, there is around the island walk trail, there is a hike up Mt. Livermore, you can also visit the historic Immigrant jail on the island. We will discuss and decide on the ferry.

Two schedules:
Full hike:
12:15pm ferry detour via Tiburon, then take the Tiburon to Angel Island ferry. Arrive at Angel Island at 1:30pm cost $40. Leave enough time to hike up Mt. Livermore.
Book the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry in advance to reserve your seat. Yes, they only allow return trip, though we won't use the return leg.
