Past activities include trips to art museums; walking tours of San Francisco; trips to Filoli Garden and the Berkeley Botanical Garden; tours of the Palace Hotel, the Paramount Theatre, the Tao House, and the Sunset and Popular Science House of Innovation. We have fun, always learn something new, and always lunch during our outings!
The October 10 session- Dreaming in Color: Aboriginal Art from Balgo at the Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College in Moraga The November session will be either Friday, November 9 or Monday, November 12. Please respond ASAP of your interest and availability. I think it sounds like a great tour and I'm excited about seeing this historic piece of San Francisco. I look forward to hearing from you soon so we can decide on the date. We need 10 committed members for a Docent Tour of Mission Dolores and the Cemetery/Gardens of the Mission. The tour is one hour in length and costs $5.00 to $8.00 per person. The Mission is 3 to 4 blocks from the 16th and Mission BART Station. Afterwards, we could walk to the Women’s Building a few blocks away on 18th Street and view the 4-story mural there. Of course, we will lunch afterwards. The Mission San Francisco de Asis, popularly known as Mission Dolores, is the oldest intact building in the City of San Francisco and the only intact Mission Chapel in the chain of 21 established under the direction of Father Serra. The Mission is still a working Roman Catholic Parish. |

We begin the evening with a social half hour when wine and appetizers are served, then gather to discuss two movies, rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 and vote on two new movie selections to see for the next meeting. We end the evening with coffee and dessert. The host provides the home and wine, another member the appetizers and a third the dessert. At Christmas time we hold a potluck dinner. On the evening of the Academy Awards we either meet in a restaurant or a member's home with catered food to watch the Oscar presentation and tally our ballots for the most winners. We are all film fans and view a wide range of movies over the course of a year. |

| Evening Film "Oscars1" | Oscar 1 Film Group
We choose a movie for the following month. We all see the film on our own and then meet on the 2nd Friday of each month at 7:30 pm for discussion. Each person shares his or her view of the film, and we have a lot of fun with it. Spouses are included. The hostess provides beverages, appetizers and desert.
Note, we are attempting to start a third film section as it is necessary to limit the size of each group to facilitate discussion, and the existing two film groups are frequently at capacity. |
