AIDS/LifeCycle Kick-Off Party Sunday January 7th

Nikko Hotel, 222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA 94102

Grand Ballroom on the 3rd Floor, you should be able to hear people!

Contact: Emily'’s cell. Phone number is 415-902-4974 but you will be reporting to Volunteer Check-In on-site and they will tell you to which area to report.

Dress:

Casual nice so nicer jeans with closed toe shoes. You will receive a t-shirt when you arrive. Do not bring any valuables. There will be a coat check but access will be limited so fanny packs or other containers for your stuff (i.e. lip balm, cellphone, keys, wallet, etc.) that allow your hands to be free would be great!

Food:

There will be water for volunteers in the morning but no coffee and the food will not be out until after noon so plan accordingly. Thanks for understanding.

Directions:

The Nikko Hotel is located on Mason between O'Farrell and Ellis so it is really close to Powell Street Cable Turnaround and the underground Muni and BART Powell station. If you are at the Cable Car turnaround at Powell and Market go up Powell towards Union Sqauare. Cross and the next street you will come to is O'’Farrell. Go left at O'Farrell and after the next side street Cyril Magnin you will see an entrance to the Nikko at Mason on the left-hand side. Go on in and go up to the 3rd Floor. (You can go up Cyril Magnin but it's not as straight-forward so I gave the easy to explain way!)

TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION if possible because the Nikko is really central and parking is excruciatingly expensive downtown.

Because the different shifts for this event start at different times, we are requiring volunteers to print participation verification slips to bring with them to their shift to be filled out and signed by adult superviors in the vicinity. Slips can be downloaded here, labeled "SF AIDS Foundation Kick-Off Party Slips." There are three slips per page, so one person can print a sheet of the slips and share with two other volunteers to conserve paper. A signed slip will serve as "signing in" at this event, so please remember to bring a copy of a slip with you to the event and don't forget to turn in the signed slips to us at the meetings after this event! You will not receive credit for this event if we do not receive some kind of signed verification of your participation.

If you forget to bring or lose your slip while you are working at the event, grab a piece of paper and write down all the information required on the slip and have an adult sign the slip of paper. We will accept this and give you credit. (This also applies to Family Appreciation Day.)

Please contact us with any questions you may have about this event!
