Just six months into formation, the group is throwing a party to celebrate Autumn and the joy of living. Says Events Chair Daniel Oppenheim, "The event is an opportunity to enjoy the company of your neighbors while sharing some food, drinks, conversation, live music and a great view. We do not have an agenda other than to have fun and connect with others in our local community." Neighbors will assemble on Saturday, October 10 at 10 a.m. for a potluck brunch atop Billy Goat Hill, the crown jewel of Fairmount Heights open space. Sweeping views overlooking San Francisco and the bay are enough reason to make the trek on a Saturday morning. Great food and inviting company will make it all that more worthwhile. View the event flyer. Many members of FHA have are connected with Friends of Billy Goat Hill Park and have been working together to influence Rec & Park progress on the Billy Goat Hill / Walter Haas Park trail project. The upcoming brunch provides an opportunity for others to see this path and talk about what is taking shape. Grove of Stern Grove come alive with colorfully costumed children, ghosts and goblins on Friday, October 23 from 3 – 9 pm. Scare Grove is a family-friendly event featuring carnival rides, a haunted house, costume parade, live entertainment, food for sale and more! Cost is $8 per person; children under 2 are free.
