Are you interested in helping out with the Net Impact San Francisco professional chapter leadership team this year? If so – coming to our January 2010 leadership retreat is a great opportunity to meet other leaders and learn more about how you can contribute. We’ll be planning our events and programs for the first half of the year. Our leadership team structure is very fluid and dynamic – and you’ll get out of the organization what you put into it. Net Impact SF is a platform for you to reach your goals and have a positive impact. We try not to make things an unnecessary burden. Help us take the organization to the next level.

If you can’t make it to the retreat, no worries. You’ll have a chance to get involved throughout the year. Food will be provided for lunch.

The Net Impact bike ride this Saturday was a smashing success. 11 folks departed from Sports Basement, crossed the GG Bridge, meandered through the marshes and byways of Marin, and made our way to the Marin Brewing Company in Larkspur – 14 miles total. After a relaxing and nourishing lunch of beer, onion rings, and burgers – we headed back to the Larkspur Ferry and realized that we’d read the schedule wrong and missed our ferries. No worries – 14 more miles of happy pedaling later, we all made it safely back to SF. At least we worked off those burgers!

Thanks to everyone for showing up and to Net Impact member Tim Whitley for organizing the trip!
