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:
1) Go out to your favorite San Francisco [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001MzUANgm2yZ-BmF7SSolKudZu7GA8pdUTmce0CNq_xTnuiTpYbfza7VPCyqFmjky9lllp7OVm67ugnqPUplUXM9CtpRR-qQQ6Q5lXjDcRaZdE-MhociC1DWH-h9uD7zUMM5U1D_GeB34=]
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
5) Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, July 24 at 5 p.m.
Disclaimer: By submitting your video to us, you grant the San Francisco Recreation
and Park Department the right to print, publish, broadcast, and use in any manner
it deems appropriate on its websites, publications, campaigns or in any manner chosen,
worldwide, in any media now known or hereafter developed, including, without limitation,
the World Wide Web, at any time or times, the participant's name, video images
and any language contained therein, for public information without additional consideration
or compensation. The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department may edit or alter
the videos in any manner they see fit. Parties submitting photos/videos further
release the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and the City and County

Fun at the Color Run This Saturday, July 14!
The annual Color Run is coming through Candlestick Park this Saturday, July 14!
The only question is "Are you ready for the craziest, colorful, 5k of your life?"
You bet you are. Race it solo or form a "color team" of 4+ members. Check out the
race details below & we'll see you all squeaky clean at the start line.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Color Run is a one-of-a-kind experience that is less about speed and more about
enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family. For our events, it is all
about participants of all different speeds, ages, shapes, and sizes toeing the start
line. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3
miles of the Color Run course will be the most enjoyable real estate you've traveled
in a VERY long time.
