WHAT: AFTERNOON BERKELEY MARINA STROLL: walking, snacks, engaging conversations.
Saturday, 8/1/26, 3:00-5:00
WHERE: Berkeley Marina. Take University to the traffic circle to Marina Blvd (It is a right turn at the traffic circle). Take the very next left to park near the Berkeley G and F docks. Please look it up before driving, as GPS may be unreliable. Park in the long lot that faces the marina boats located before the Doubletree parking lot.
WHEN: Saturday afternoon, 08/01/26 3:00 - 5:00PM. (ARRIVE a few minutes early to park) The walk will start up at 3:10 PM , going towards the Bay.
BRING: You can bring snacks to share, and hopefully a few people can bring a blanket to share with others. Also, bring a JACKET: this time of day is usually sunny, but the bay can get foggy and cool sometimes.

We all know that long-term friendships and relationships develop over time, and each one creates their own loyalty, trust, and depth.
