Party for the Parks This Saturday, September 7

Have you bought your ticket for Party for the Parks yet? If you have - thank you.
Your support is crucial to keeping San Francisco's park system one of the best in
the country.

If you haven't bought your ticket, please don't wait much longer! This event-held
September 7 at the historic Bercut Equitation Field in western Golden Gate Park--is
selling out fast. Remind your friends buy their tickets as well - we'd hate for 
them to miss what promises to be the best party yet!

Try your hand at twirling a lariat or riding a (mechanical) bull. And enjoy trick
riding and roping by the Riata Ranch Girls. A hearty dinner buffet follows, featuring
western favorites and a s'mores dessert bar! Then it's time to two-step the night
away on the dance floor.

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.partyfortheparks.org [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001JiObTTPCnmwHa4TnoXbZOwEolC3ahLubbTPCrIpvXPwaq9EneK0UBIBCzhKlRufpIM6FIxJJnQ5b31iiOot-MsqG6J-CY9EClH_ICepy_swgoNNz6HOIEi3JbxN3HrpI]

Camp Mather Update

As of Thursday, September 5, the Rim Fire has burned approximately 239,000 acres
 but is now 80% contained.
Another huge thank you is owed to everyone who has helped battle the blaze and keep
our beloved Camp Mather safe. This week, we have been preparing the campgrounds 
as a basecamp for recovery operations that will begin this Sunday. We anticipate
 reopening Camp Mather next summer for its 90th year. The fire was a very close 
call but it has allowed all of us to reflect on the good times spent at Mather and
recommit to its importance.
