CCSF Outreach in the Tenderloin at Sunday Streets with California Bluegrass!

CCSF outreach interacted with more than 100 potential students at Sunday Streets in the Tenderloin on August 20 as a very rousing California Bluegrass Band played beside us. 

 Below you see student ambassador Moises and Danny in the foreground working as the musicians play.

Yes, Danny was back, looking dapper, and he and Josie Loo, a wonderful just-retired counselor willing not to retire from CCSF outreach, were there all day.  The were helped by Carole Meagher, Leslie Milloy of Free City in the Chancelor's Office, Associate Dean of Outreach Alex Guiriba,  student ambassadors Zac Palacios, Moises Rivera,  Claudia Liu (?), and Lillian Ho, who at the end of the day picked up the furniture and material that I delivered in the morning. 

We had visits, too, from faculty like Sue Englander, here with Leslie Milloy.

Here Carole Meagher is proudly pointing to her former student, featured on our Free City flyer.

The file box Denise Selleck and I put together was used for the first time, and I think it's helpful!  

The list is also helpful because we can see at a glance what we have in the file box without opening it and going through each tab.  (Besides, the cookies I baked needed a resting place!)

Carole made the comment that it would be good to have major all-CCSF cards and flyers out and keep things like "Underwater Electronic Basket-Weaving" filed away!

No, we really don't offer Underwater Electronic Basket-weaving, but we do offer a wealth of other things, and what gets put out will be somewhat determined by where we are even though Sunday Streets is supposed to attract people from all over the city.

Here our student ambassadors Moises and Claudia are filing the flyers at the end of the day.

As usual, I met people I usually don't see on the streets, like a woman I know from the Y Stonestown!

And the music played on!

Retirees on Probation

Nancy Husari and Lynn Schneider hosted a relaxing and friend-filled retirement picnic in Alameda in a friend's house by the water. (Forgot to take a scenic picture of the water mass, but the people mass is even lovelier!)

Thomas Lee said the period between retirement in May and the fall semester was "probation," so the teachers have been released from detention and are now subject to a period of good behavior under supervision. (At least two Bobs were there to supervise.)

Of course, probation is also "the process or period of testing or observing the character or abilities of a person in a certain role," and that role would be that of retiree! I think we're all performing so well that our retirement is going to have a long run! Thank you, Lynn and Nancy!

Filing for CCSF-SF

Today Denise Selleck came over with the labels she created from my list, and we filed!
