Meetings and Events
Wednesday, June 23, at 6:30 pm. We will continue to meet both "in-person" and via ZOOM! We are very pleased to announce that our Guest Speakers, who will join us in-person, are Jessica Patterson CaGOP Chairwoman and Tom Wolf, a prominent advocate resolved to reinventing San Francisco's response to the homeless and drug crisis. In his own words he writes, "I am an advocate for recovery, the truth about homelessness, addiction, and drug policy. Formerly incarcerated, formerly homeless, recovering addict."The SF Chronicle wrote that "Wolf was an employed father of two, husband and homeowner in Daly City before succumbing to opioid addiction and winding up homeless on the streets of the Tenderloin. Wolf has been sober since Sunday, June 24, 2018, and has reconnected with his wife and children. ""I had lost all hope. I had lost all faith. I had lost everything,"" Wolf said. ""I'm here by the grace of God.""

In addition to the Board of Directors, about 10 members will be able to attend this meeting and dine "in-person" at the Sausage Factory in the Castro. For those who cannot join us at the Sausage Factory, we will continue holding the meeting on ZOOM as before. Unfortunately, due to some remaining limitations on dining room capacity, and to simplify the process, the 10 available spaces will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. To express your interest in meeting at the Sausage Factory, please send an email to: logcabinsf@gmail.com. The first 10 members to respond will be notified that they have been confirmed to attend "in-person." Unless you receive a confirmation to attend in person, we will not be able to accommodate you. For those attending, please plan on purchasing dinner and drinks to show our support for the owners and staff of the Sausage Factory. We expect that future meetings will not need to be limited in capacity. Regardless, we will continue to host the meetings on ZOOM. Whether you attend in person or by ZOOM, please arrive/log-on at 6:30 pm. To register to attend the meeting by ZOOM on June 23, please click on the link below._____________________________
