Upcoming Events
General Meeting
Our next General Meeting will be on Wednesday July 28, 2010. Jude Stalker from the Marin Audubon Society will talk about Ecological characteristics and importance of the Bay's tidal wetlands, pointing out sensitive species and ways that kayakers can avoid disturbing them.
The meeting will take place at our new permanent meeting location, the UCSF Mission Center Building in San Francisco. The Mission Center Building is located on 1855 Folsom Street (Map), and we meet in room 126.
Parking: There is a large parking lot in the back of the building accessible from 15th Street between Folsom and Harrison St. There is a ticket machine that takes cash or credit cards. Parking is $2.00. There is free parking on 15th street and the surrounding streets too. The main entrance to MCB 1855 Folsom is actually from the parking lot, not Folsom Street, so those walking need to enter via the parking lot entrance on 15th Street.
Public transportation: UCSF Red line and Yellow line shuttle bus service runs from the 16th Street Bart to MCB. Those arriving can take the shuttle bus, however bus service ends at 8pm so they will have to walk back to the Bart Station (10 minute walk).
You don't need to be a BASK member to attend our General Meetings. These informal events are held on the last Wednesday of the month from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. We usually start out with a light supper where we socialize and exchange information in a relaxed atmosphere. Bring your favorite eating utensil, plate, and a water bottle. The meeting will begin at 7:00pm. Check this site before each meeting because our room assignment changes occasionally.
Planning Meeting
In addition to the General Meetings, we conduct monthly Planning Meetings. During these meetings, we discuss club business, and make plans for new trips and activities. These meetings are usually hosted by a club member and include a potluck dinner. Location, dates and times vary - see the newsletter for more details.
