**AIDS GROVE SF***
WHAT IS IT?
This is a lovely place in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, which
has been set aside as a remembrance for all those who are coping with
AIDS or who have died from it. It is an area that is currently being
reclaimed and beautified for all to enjoy.
WHAT'S UP?
Once or twice a month, volunteers get together and do the garden thang,
wherein we all get together and work to make the Grove a beautiful place.
Its a great way to remember our friends and make new friends. You don't
have to be gay, you can be a friend of the family (like me) :-). It
gives me a chance to think about my friends and at the end of the workday,
we hold hands in a circle and speak about them.
WHERE IS IT?
Its in Golden Gate Park (silly!) near the Bowling Green and the tennis
courts.

WHEN IS IT?
January 9th from 9AM to 3PM.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Planting trees. Macy's gave them their live Christmas trees. Let me
tell you, planting trees is the best. You can remember where "your"
tree was and go back later and tell people, "Hey I planted that sucker!"
Just think. Something you planted will be there over 100 years from now.
ANYTHING ELSE?
Bring appropriate grunge garden gear. Slopes can be slippery. Bring
your lunch, leather gloves (if you got 'em), and warm enough clothes.
I made other plans this time around, but there are netters who show
up and it would be a blast if more netters did the same.
