SCA Alumni Council - Service in San Francisco
Oct. 19 - 21, 2012 Members of the SCA Alumni Council descended on the Bay Area for a weekend in late October for an Oakland service event w/ Pick Up America & the San Francisco Outdoor Nation Summit.
Join us for a service project at MLK Jr. shoreline in Oakland TODAY. 11AM PST (2PM EST). SCA's @mrjoethurston tweeting live. #servetheplanet- The morning began with final preparations for an Art for the Sky installation commissioned by SCA and Pick Up America. The piece was completed later in the day with a gathering of carefully arranged, colorfully t-shirted volunteers and an aerial photograph.
