6th Annual USAT-Sanctioned Sprint Triathlon

This race course is one of the few in the world held entirely along a scenic waterfront. The course consists of an 800-yard near-shore swim; a 15-mile bike ride along Beach Boulevard with only 1 turn (the turnaround); and a 3.1-mile run along the Beach Boardwalk.
Whether a triathlete is a beginner looking for a straight-forward course or a seasoned Ironman who wants to see what their bike can do on a fast course, this race is for everyone!

Musicians Benefit / Second Line for Guitar Bo
|
Like many musicians and performers who enrich the community's lives with talent and skill, Guitar Bo's funeral expenses exceed his family's resources. Guitar Bo was honored earlier this year in a mural on the side of the 100 Men Hall where he played frequently with his earlier bands (the Claudettes Combo in the early sixties), and with his wife, Ms. Dee.
The 100 Men Hall was built by the African American community with the purpose of raising money to bury the dead in a respectable manner.
Please join us on Saturday, July 20, for a benefit fundraiser to raise the burial funds needed for Guitar Bo's family and to celebrate his life with a second line.
The benefit begins at 4PM and the second line is at 7PM. There is no food being served, but there is a cash bar.
Tickets are $10. If you are a musician and would like to participate in the benefit, please contact 100MenHall@gmail.com.

The Writing Room at the 100 Men Hall
|
The Writing Room at the 100 Men Hall strips away filters that keep writers from writing. Writers are encouraged to use their own narratives to write stories that are transformative. In every workshop, the participants write, without using critical thinking, allowing their personal experience to emerge on paper. This is a method of writing Rachel Dangermond studied in Woodstock, NY called Authentic Writing.
The workshop provides a technique that allows creativity to flow and writing to happen. The result is writing that is fresh, immediate, and pulsing with life. Participants are amazed to read their own results after using this approach.
The Writing Room at the 100 Men Hall meets the 4th Saturday of every month from 1PM to 5PM. The Writing Room is donation based. We ask that you donate as much as you can to help with the operating cost of the 100 Men Hall. A usual donation would be $75 for the 4-hour session. Contact Rachel Dangermond at 100MenHall@gmail.com or 415.336.9543 for further information.
