TownFlame Reunion -- Ferry trip to Angel Island

Returning **alumni** only — this is intentionally capped as a reunion for people who have joined our previous events. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- From our first SF event -- Pillow Fight in Embarcadero on Valentine's Day, it has been half a year already. We have been growing from a small meetup of about 200 people to current size, we have walked many cultural parades and festivals, and volunteered in many of them, **left our footprints** across town, from Chinese New Year to Carnaval, from Embarcadero to Stern Grove. For the coming next half year, we expect to **start more localized regular programs**, the Golden Hour walks, the Volunteer Parties, and at least one more format we are experimenting, and cross region activities as well. So people can meet each other more often, from different angles of life, familiarity and shared purpose birth relations. So does our team, we expect to expand, on top of our current volunteer base. We have seen a lot of **warm hearted** people from our events, so we plan to grow our team, have more people involved, and do a builders' social internally. This is supposed to be a more **intense and tighter** version of the participant social we are having now. More regular gatherings, doing things together, team retreats etc, out of **shared mission,** on top of already established connections. Time to reconnect again, pick up the topics you left in the group outing last time, refresh some familiar faces, and make some new plans. **Peek over the event and time lane**, find new opportunities. This is your chance, on the beautiful Angel Island, in the center of the bay. So the reunion would be done via a ferry trip to Angel Island, from the Ferry Building, on the last Sat of this month, right **before** the Labor Day long weekend. More details will be sent to our WhatsApp group. This is supposed to be a closed event, for our returning alumni and their friends only. We will mostly do a Partiful invite. If you are not in the WhatsApp group, let us know. We will update you.
