Afternoon Activities San Francisco

Improv Jam Session | Beginner-Friendly Game Day

Join us for a fun day of improv games! This is a free, beginner-friendly jam session (not a formal class). We try to get together about once a month and play games. As always, nobody is forced to participate but highly encouraged to jump in and play. **What to expect:** * Improv - short for improvisational theater - is a form of live performance where characters, dialogue, and scenes are created in the moment. * We’ll have a mix of warm-up games, learn about character development, physical comedy, and storytelling. * Depending on audience participation, we’re planning about an 1.5-2 hour session. **Where and when:** * Sunday, June 14th - meeting at 2:00pm, games start at 2:15pm. * William McKinley Monument in NoPa: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gSDmnZA9md6r5orU9 * We’re planning to use the space in front of the monument as our “stage”. If you’re still reading (whoo whoo), here is a Wiki rabbit hole about improv: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvisational_theatre Come play some games with us!

[https://www.sterngrove.org/](https://www.sterngrove.org/) Of all the volunteer shifts, the free roaming fund raiser shift is one position that you can decide where to go and when to go by yourself, least limitation. All the others are fixed to one position. **Registration** link: [https://volunteer.bloomerang.co/volunteer/#/join-party?k=qwoszrbsg3no79](https://volunteer.bloomerang.co/volunteer/#/join-party?k=qwoszrbsg3no79) You **must** do this **before Thursday afternoon**, cause they will issue tickets late afternoon, and the slots would be reset after that. Choose the afternoon **2:30- 5:30 pm Fundraisers** shift. **Parking**: Stonestown Mall. Lunch is provided by the festival. Bring a water bottle if you can. **Join [TownFlame](http://https//%5B%5B%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D%5D%5D(%5B%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D%5D)(%5B%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D%5D(%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D))(%5B%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D%5D(%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D)(%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D(%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D)))(%5B%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D%5D(%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D)(%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D(%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D))(%5B%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D%5D(%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D)(%5Bwww.meetup.com/townflame%5D(www.meetup.com/townflame))))), Make Life Happen.** **Liability Waiver:** Participation in TownFlame events is voluntary and involves social interaction in public spaces.

Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care

What if you could spend one afternoon directly changing the lives of animals who desperately need our help? Join us in San Francisco for a unique, hands-on experience where you'll learn how to rescue injured pigeons, provide life-changing first aid, and support companion animals living alongside our unhoused neighbors. Every day, pigeons in San Francisco suffer from a hidden danger: string, fishing line, hair, and other debris that wrap tightly around their toes and feet, causing immense pain, infections, and sometimes the loss of entire limbs. During this event, we'll teach you how to safely spot, catch, and help these incredible birds before releasing them back to their families and flocks. We'll also be carrying food and toys to share with companion animals belonging to our unhoused neighbors because compassion doesn't stop with one species. This event is about building a kinder city for all animals. Whether you're a lifelong animal advocate or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this is your chance to turn empathy into action. You'll leave with new skills, amazing stories, and the incredible feeling that comes from knowing you made someone's world a little better. No experience necessary. We'll provide all the training and supplies. Just bring:  Compassion  Comfortable shoes A willingness to help animals who are too often ignored Come discover just how much good one afternoon can do. **ARRIVE ON TIME!** We’ll begin promptly at 11am with a brief about essential safety and training. If you arrive late, we will be out and about and hard to contact and find so please be on time. **Meeting location:** Powell Street BART Station Questions?

Sunday Kickball @ Bushrod Park!

BASS presents our favorite event, kickball! We will be at our normal spot in the East Bay at Bushrod Park in Oakland! Bring your soccer cleats (for better grip on the field), sunscreen, and athletic wear and water for a fun time out! For those who haven't played kickball before, the rules will be explained and demonstrated before we start. Depending on the attendance, we'll either have 2 teams facing off or a rotation of 3 teams all together. Then after we may hit the local pizza/bar scene if everyone still wants to hang out. We have a HARD START at 1pm, so please be sure to show up on time for warmups! (We also nearly lost the field previously because not enough people were there on time) See you there soon! 🔴 Note: Please, please, please don’t no show. 🙏 It makes these events really difficult to plan. If you no show once, you will be given lower priority for future events. The second time, you will be removed from the event list for any attendee limited event we host.
