We have some new walks!

  • Noe Valley Tuesday at 1pm

  • Forest Hill Friday at 10am

  • Sunset Recreation Center - Monday at 4pm (new high school student leader!)

  • Fort Funston Saturday at 1pm

  • Mission Spanish speaking group Tuesday at 2pm

  • Stern Grove is back on the Calendar! Sunday at 1pm.

Still looking for 1 more person to co-host a Cow Hollow group.

I’m also trying out a new calendar. Please try using this one and give me some feedback. I’m trying to start moving off of MeetUp so I’m integrating a couple of items in here.

Senior Fitness Day Walk at Crissy Field!

Senior Fitness Day walk in Chrissy field on Thursday May 23 at 1pm. We’re going to have a 1 mile, 2 mile, and 4 mile group. Get free drinks and snack provided by Sports Basement and meet some other organizations serving the older adult community. Sign up Would anyone be willing to be a group leader for this walk? I’m anticipating there might be more people than I can manage.

High School Student Volunteers?

Recently I’ve been in touch with a few high school students who have been interested in helping out with leading some walks. I thought this sounded like an awesome opportunity for some intergenerational walks and exchange ideas. So I’m working with a counselor at Archbishop Riordan High School to put together a program for two of his students. Anyone know any high school counselors or students?

Grants?

I’m starting to put together a grant application to help fund the club. Anyone know any companies or other organizations that have funds to allocate or people who might know people? Thought it would be worth asking.

The Happiness Lab Podcast

Someone recently recommended that I listen to the Happiness Lab podcast and I’ve found that Dr. Laurie Santos derives a lot of wisdom and science that I have found very applicable in my own life. The most recent one was on tips to “achieve a digital balance” with our phones and screens.
