The Juri Commoners are volunteers who care for Juri Commons, our park in the southwestern corner of San Francisco's Mission District, built on the old railroad right-of-way between Guerrero Street, San Jose Avenue and 25th and 26th Streets. We work on the park one Saturday morning a month, and we take turns patrolling the park once each day.
Our regular work day is the last Saturday of the month from 9 AM to around noon, but watch email and flyers for details. One work day in early December replaces the work days at the end of November and December which would compete with Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Our next work day is June 30th. Watch this space for details.
We are applying for a Community Opportunity Fund grant. Please visit http://schweisguth.org/~dave/juri-commons/ for details on the COF grant and to provide feedback!
We also have an Adopt-A-Day program, in which each volunteer inspects and tidies up the park one day a month. Look in the files section for details.
And if you've got an interest in organizing and/or fundraising, we'd especially love to get some help on those fronts -- several park projects need someone to get them moving.
To learn more, sign up for this group and/or send email to the current coordinator, dave at schweisguth dot org!
Juri Commons is also home to Jennifer Alexander's sculpture, Sol Flor, conceived of as a temporary work under the Black Rock Arts Foundation's ScrapEden project and still in place.
P.S.: announcements of interest to the neighborhood are always welcome in the mailing list.
