\*Don't be a no-show. *See the Group's no-show policy below.* Don't be a no-show and lose your membership in the Group. *Attendance is always taken and no-shows recorded.* *(Come enjoy the Meetup tour then go to the season opening performance of the San Francisco Mime Troup in Dolores Park at 2pm. There is a lot of dialogue, so sit close.)* The walk from Dolores Park to Dolores Hts. and Eureka Valley adds something new to today's tour, plus some Victorians we haven't checked out before have been added\*.\* Due to possible hot weather.
