The L.I.F.E. Goes On (LGO) “Altruism” Project Coming to a Season End

The L.I.F.E. Goes On (LGO) “Altruism” Project activity – AIDS Memorial Grove Community Workaday is coming to a season end. Helping out with the maintenance of the AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park is health promoting! So come out, come out, wherever you are!
The outdoor activity that is meditative and community-oriented. I’ve been calling it ‘social gardening’.

There is a registration to fill out.
The Volunteer Days are the third Saturday of each month from March through October. Volunteers help with the work of creating and maintaining the AIDS Memorial Grove for all to enjoy. Community Volunteer Workdays are a rewarding experience. Many first-time volunteers become ongoing participants.
We will be among upwards of approximately 100 people expected to be at the Grove.

Location:
The Grove is located near the east end of Golden Gate Park, just a couple of blocks west of where the Park’s Panhandle ends at the intersection of Fell/Oak and Stanyan Streets…National AIDS Memorial Grove

Getting There:
MUNI BUS – Take any of the following buses west from downtown: #5, #7, #21, #71, or #73.
MUNI N-JUDAH – On the underground N-Judah streetcar, go west (away from downtown) to the intersection of Carl and Arguello Streets…
AIDS Memorial

If you dont know how to get to the Grove – we meet at Caffe Trieste on Market and Gough about 7:30AM and catch the nearby 71 MUNI about 7:50AM out to the Grove.
If you know the way – we can meet you there by the coffee and bagels about 8:30AM.

Weather:
San Francisco weather is usually nice during the Volunteer season. Still, (as we all know) it’s usually advisable to dress in layers in S.F. as you can never be certain.

Come out and join us for the last social gardening outing for the 2011 season. Contact Derrick Mapp by eMail or 415-674-4703 for more information and what to expect.
