April 23. Create with Nature On Stinson Beach

This is such a fun way to spend a day appreciating one of our most beautiful and enjoyable locations. Environmental artist Zach Pine created this event in 2005 as a way to connect people with each other and the natural world. This event combines beach cleanup with creative activities. Using sand rocks, shells and other natural objects, beach goers work alone and in groups to spontaneously create outdoor sculptures. The beach is transformed into a playful and evolving sculpture gallery. Get your buckets and shovels out and make a difference while “playing” at the beach! Get the details.

Everyone in the bay is familiar with Rev. Cecil Williams, the legendary leader of GLIDE Church. What you may not know is that in 1975 a television program was created focusing on the now famous Rev. Williams. After four decades buried in the place wherever VCR’s go, the program is now available for showing. The essence of the now 86-year-old Reverend is captured in this show. His charismatic nature and fiery focus shines through and depicts Williams as he was when he began mesmerizing audiences at GLIDE. Following the screening, Rev. Williams, Janice Mirikitani and Hon. Willie L. Brown Jr. will reminisce about this unique era in San Francisco’s history. Hearing these three SF icons as they provide insight on community that has been created throughout the years will no doubt, be inspiring and an evening to be remembered. Wed.
