There is a proposal by San Francisco Rec & Parks to put in a 2,000 sq. ft. restaurant at Stow Lake Boat House and move the boat repair shop to the lower parking lot.  The Stow Lake Boat House Coalition states that this plan would destroy the intrinsic nature and historic design of the boat house and they do not believe moving boats is an efficient use of  tax dollars.
 
The Coalition is planning a free family event on Feb. 13th from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Stow Lake Boat House.  Kids will have a chance to draw and write letters to let the City know the Coalition does not want a restuarant /cafe to take over the boathouse. FREE to partygoers will be: popcorn, organic coffee and free raffle with great prizes (boat rides, books, etc)!

A View of San Francisco’s History from its Highest Point

You are invited to join Miraloma Park neighbor, Jacquie Proctor, author of San Francisco’s West of Twin Peaks, (http://www.MtDavidson.org/) on a guided tour of Mt Davidson on Saturday, February 20th at 1:30 pm. Explore the inspired history of San Francisco’s highest hill on this hike through our 38 acre nature preserve to the amazing view and gigantic monument at its summit.

The walk is free and sponsored by the San Francisco City Guides (http://www.sfcityguides.org/).  Trails can be windy and muddy.  Wear a jacket and sturdy shoes.  Meet at the 36 Muni line bus shelter at Dalewood and Myra.
