Hi Gang,

We are making this announcement now as yours truly will be set to NO
MAIL until August 24th.

We've decided to move the Van-O-Rama from the Stern Grove location to
a nicer spot in South San Francisco.

The new place is called Alta Loma Park. Best way to find it is by
pointing your Mapquest, or the directions program/site to the 600
block of McLellan Drive in South San Francisco.

For those familiar with the area, McLellan Drive crosses El Camino
Real two blocks south of Hickey Blvd. You will want to drive west
(away from the BART Station). It will be an L-shaped street. The park
is at the top of the hill. The area itself is comprised mostly of
recently constructed new homes from the site of the old Rod McLellan
Orchid Nursery. Costco is just across the street in El Camino.

Now since this is a neighborhood park, there wil be a lot of other
people using it at the same time. So parking is first come first
served. There is a lot parking but spots near the BBQ and playground
will be taken up first usually. There are clean bathrooms at that same
area. The park has a full outdoor basket ball court and a pair of
tennis courts. They are all first come first served (no pun intended).
There is also a baseball diamond but use for that weekend is unknown
at this time. There will plenty of lawn to stretch out on. Vehicles
can may not be driven off paved areas. Park is also open to dogs on
leash. Picnic and BBQ is by reservation. We will reserve one area for
us.

We are limited to picnic type activities as the City of South San
Francisco would not allow a vehicle related event in this park. The
park and rec folks said as long as we were a bunch of friends just out
for a weekend picnic, then there is nthig to worry about . Hmmm....
Anyway, it neats having all the folks getting upset when we block-off
the parking lot in Stern Grove.

That's about it. We expect this is a better spot for the type of
turn-out we are expecting.

Please post this in other lists that you belong in so we don't have to
subscribe this email address all over the place.

Pmail BenT if you have any questions and or concerns at
Syncro@gmail.com. However, he may not be able to reply to you until
his return from floating around the Med. (no, not the meds. cabinet)
