San Francisco Stairway Hike #4 July 25 (Sun) 2010

This is a repeat of a popular hike that hasn’t been done since July ’07.  It includes parts of  the Marina, Cow Hollow and Pacific Heights districts with lots of  grand views and magnificent architecture.  We will meet at the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts at the corner of Marina and Lyon (parking in the Exploratorium lot just W of the Exploratorium – NOT at the 4 hour limit lot right next to the building) at 10AM with the usual layered clothing, camera, snacks and liquids and a little money for shopping and lunch.  “Facilities” are at the Palace and along some of the shopping streets plus a few blue port-a-potties.  Time is expected to be less than 4 hours, but we may spend time around the Palace grounds (if renovation fences are down by then) and taking in scenery here and there.  We will pass many stately homes and descend the fabulous Lyon St. stairs – surely the grandest in San Francisco (pictured below).

Signups are limited to 20 people.  For more info or to sign up, contact Hoyt Nelson at .  More detailed info will be sent a week before the hike (approach to the parking lot can be tricky).

CALL FOR NIKKEI MATSURI VOLUNTEERS

APR 23, 24, 25 – Fri, Sat, Sunday

NSC has a long-standing tradition of selling Chinese chicken salad at the yearly Nikkei Matsuri festival in the spring (Sunday Apr 25 this year).  This has always been our biggest money maker of the year and is needed in particular this year in view of the subsidies we paid out this year to attract new members.  We need to get started ASAP for this activity because the festival is so early this year, there are many tasks to complete and time has a way of slipping away all too quickly.
