August Activity ScheduleUpcoming Events
Advice For People Who Have Never Attended Our Events Or Who Only Come Once Or Twice A Year The first time at one of our events can be pretty scary since you won't know anyone (although, we don't think we're very scary, as a matter of fact, we're fun, friendly people!). The 2nd time you come to one of our activities, it's not so scary. And the 3rd time you come you're already starting to feel comfortable. As with any group or organization, the key is to hang in there and pretty soon you'll be seeing a lot of familiar faces and in the process getting to know a lot of good people and you'll soon find you're actually having fun! And that is what our activities are about, having fun and enjoying each other's company! Hope to see you soon! (Note that if you should ever lose our activity announcement for the current month, or find yourself far from home-sweet-home, you can easily view it on our own Sierra Club sponsored web site residing at: http://sanfranciscobay.sierraclub.org/couples/. Be sure to put our web address in your browser's bookmark section so that we will always be just a click away!).

EMAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS
Once every year within the 3 month period of January to March, everyone is invited to send a small donation check of $5, made out to Sierra Couples, to Roy French, Treasurer, 1718 Addison St., Berkeley, CA 94703. When requesting your email subscription, you need to indicate if you want it in the usual ugly email format or the email version with a beautifully colored jpeg or pdf file attachment. Note that all web browsers can view colored jpeg attachments but in order to view a colored pdf file attachment you will need to have a copy of Adobe’s Acrobat Reader to view it and to print it out on a compatible postscript printer. You can get the Reader free by downloading it from Adobe’s website at: www.adobe.com.
ABOUT OUR SUBSCRIPTION FEES
Donated fees we collect from our subscribers are used to backup our Car Camp Leaders who initially use their own money as far as 6 to 7 months in advance to reserve campsites. In case a campout is rained out, or there are unexpected cancellations or there are other unforeseen disasters that leave our Camp Leaders high and dry, so to speak, our funds are used to help bail them out on a case-by-case basis and even then we cannot guarantee that we will or can totally compensate them for their loss. And also, just as importantly, if not more so, we use the money we collect to support Sierra Club causes and those of similar conservation organizations.
SIERRA CLUB MEMBERSHIP
You need not be a Sierra Club member to receive our Activity Schedule or to attend our activities. But you do need to be a Sierra Club member to lead activities for us or to be one of our Officers. Note that our donated subscription fee and Sierra Clubs membership dues are not tax deductible as a charitable organization.
