Rec and Park "Quilt" Video: You're the Fabric of Our Parks
This week, we're asking you, our park users, to be a part of our first ever "quilt"
video.  Send us a 10-second (or less) clip of you in our parks and we'll "stitch"
all of the videos we receive into a larger video montage, much like a patchwork 
quilt.  We'll premiere the finished product at the end of the month in our newsletter,
on our web page and on our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube). And,
we'll showcase it at an upcoming Rec and Park Commission meeting.
Here's how to include your video in this exciting project:

park and take a short video of you and your friends/family saying our catch phrase,
"Get Out and Play!"
2) The video should be no more than ten seconds long.
3) Send the video file (.MOV, .WMV, .MPG and most common video types) via email 
to jamie.hopper at sfgov.org [mailto:jamie.hopper at sfgov.org].
4) Please include the following information in your email:

1. Names of people appearing in the video
2. Where the video was shot
3. Contact information

it deems appropriate on its websites, publications, campaigns or in any manner chosen,

and any language contained therein, for  public information without additional consideration
or compensation.  The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department may edit or alter
