Glow in the Dark Pickleball & Padel Party ✨️

With Pickleball growing more popular than ever, there's a good chance you've already played before. But have you played in the dark with glowing neon lights? Mix that with some food, alcohol and a live DJ and you'll have one night to remember. But what is Padel? Like pickleball, padel is a racquet sport but the key difference is that it's played in an enclosed glass court and players are made to bounce the ball off the walls in a tennis-meets-squash type of way. **Admission**: $59 Your ticket buys you access to not just padel & pickleball courts, but also to a game zone with ping-pong, foosball, corn hole, beer pong, as well as access to an open bar. **Dresscode**: NEON (mandatory) **5:00 PM**: Early arrivals. Play Pickleball & Padel, and start warming up with some drinks. **7:00 PM**: Party kicks off with the DJ, OPEN BAR, and food for purchase. **8:00 PM**: Glow in the Dark courts light up the night.

From crisis to conservation: Empowering action for biodiversity

We are living in extraordinary times that can challenge our ability to feel hopeful about the future. To meet this moment, California Native Plant Society has launched two ambitious multi-year biodiversity campaigns: a conservation campaign focused on saving native plants in their natural habitats, and an urban biodiversity campaign that aims to transform the built environment with native plants. In this talk, we’ll discuss the virtuous cycle of hope and action, and where the native plant movement can have the greatest impacts, now and for future generations. Dr. Jun Bando is the executive director of the California Native Plant Society, a nonprofit conservation organization with more than 13,000 members, 35 volunteer-led chapters, and a statewide staff based in Sacramento. She earned her Ph.D. in ecology from UC Davis and her professional background includes work in public policy, higher education, foreign affairs, and national security.

Gaga (Handball/Dodgeball variation) & Other Lawn Games @ Alameda Gaga Court

Join us for games of **GAGA**! Gaga is similar to handball and is a low-impact, fast moving fun game that rotates players quickly, so its a great way to meet new people and keep moving! The location of the court on Alameda island is here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8 ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8) The rules of Gaga are super simple and as follows: * *All players start with one hand touching a wall of the pit.* * *The game begins with a referee throwing the ball into the center of the pit.* * *Once the ball is in play, any player can hit the ball with an open or closed hand.* * *If a ball touches a player below the knee (even if the player hits himself or herself) they are out and they leave the pit. If a player is hit above the knees, the play continues.* * *Players cannot hold the ball* If you have any other games like spike ball, cornhole, or soccer or volleyballs, please feel free to bring them as well! We will have some additional activities set up on the sides for people to play and socialize while in between games of gaga.

Pilates + Sound Bath: Hot Girl Reset

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/iMCtdLA4uTM3WwKJbU3S **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** Hey wellness crew, Come soak up some afternoon heat and relaxing vibrations with a room full of active women who love a good sweat session as much as a deep stretch. Join me for an easygoing meetup where we spend an hour chatting one-on-one through the app, and then head right into a rejuvenating hot pilates class and sound bath together. We'll start our afternoon getting to know each other in a series of quick, guided conversations. The Gist IRL app takes the guesswork out by matching you up, so you can easily chat about your current fitness goals, favorite instructors, or recovery routines. It's a really natural way to find the women whose energy matches yours. Once the chats wrap up, you'll pick the connections that sparked the most for you. By the time you stretch out on your mat, you'll have a new crew of workout partners right beside you. Whether this small circle turns into your permanent go-to wellness and pilates squad, or simply makes for a beautiful, restorative afternoon, I know you'll leave feeling amazing. The Plan: - 1:00PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 1:15PM - 1:30PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who shares your favorite self-care rituals, fitness studios, and healthy lifestyle tips. - 1:30PM - 3:00PM: Begin the pilates and sound bath session. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and head inside J8 Hot Pilates & Yoga for the pilates and sound bath session — your group heads in together this afternoon. We will have incredible vendors that we love and goodie bags for every attendee. Let's skip the usual routine of trading Instagram handles but never actually booking a workout or wellness day together. Instead, let's do pilates and a sound bath right now, and hopefully build a real crew to explore new fitness classes and wellness studios to try together down the road. Plus, after we pack up our gym bags and head home, you can easily keep the momentum going and message your group through the app without needing to hand out your personal phone number. I'm so excited to sweat, breathe, and reset with all of you. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/iMCtdLA4uTM3WwKJbU3S **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**
