What we'll be doing:

Itinerary is still a work in progress but this special outing might look something like this:

• We’ll meet up at 9th and Lincoln in the Inner Sunset at 1:00pm.
• Bring a packed lunch for yourself and optional snacks to share. There are many food options/ bakeries around 9th and Irving if you wish to purchase your lunch prior to our meeting time.
• Depending on traffic, we should arrive at downtown Napa by 2:30pm.
• We’ll find a picnic spot to have our lunch, stretch our legs and explore downtown Napa before heading to the Aerena Gallery at 4:30pm for a Meet the Artist event.
• From there we’ll embark on the light tour, prepare ourselves to be amazed by the art sculptures and projections we’re about to see.

What you should know:

Bring cash. Pack light and wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

Our goal is to head back to San Francisco no later than 8pm. Drop off location(s) in San Francisco to be determined.

Optional post-event activity in San Francisco — get something to eat, drink, dessert or call it an evening? Let’s play it by ear.

Where to Meet:

The San Francisco meeting location will be on 9th Avenue at Lincoln Way on the Golden Gate Park side of the street across from the Pacific Catch Restaurant.

One Brick - San Francisco/East Bay:

One Brick is a 501(c)3 nonprofit volunteer organization that brings volunteers together to support other local nonprofit organizations. One Brick has adopted an innovative twist to the volunteer experience: we create a friendly and social atmosphere around volunteering. After each volunteer event - which typically lasts only 3 to 4 hours - we invite volunteers to gather at a local restaurant or cafe where they can get to know one another in a relaxed social setting. Through our volunteer projects, we provide nonprofits with the much-needed labor to carry out their visions. At the same time we foster an environment in which our volunteers can meet new people, both socially and professionally.
