Summer Picnic by the Bay Saturday, June 18 at 1:00 p.m Crissy Field near the Warming Hut at the end of Mason Street, Presidio, near the Golden Gate Bridge. Children of all ages very welcome. Bus #29 or #45 to Lyon & Greenwich then take Presidio Shuttle to the Warming Hut. Call MUNI, 415-673-6864. Let us know if you are planning to come as we need to make sure we have enough tables, 415-273-5481. Bring fresh or prepared picnic food for 10. (There is no way to heat food.) Wear layered clothing as the unpredictable San Francisco weather can range from cold to hot and in the same day, but mostly on the cool side. There is plenty of time after eating for walking, hiking, biking, or sitting and viewing the fabulous panoramic bay view.
Neil Yoskowitz adds: The Presidio Shuttle telephone needs to be added to the event entry for June 18th. The telephone number is: Presidio Trust Transportation Department at (415) 561-5300
