9:30 am: Volunteer Day at Enchanted Hills Camp


Nov 2

Be a part of the rebuild – join us for Volunteer Day at Enchanted Hills Camp

We need your help! Please volunteer with us on November 2 and help ensure that Enchanted Hills Camp will serve campers for many generations to come.

Two years ago, half of Enchanted Hills Camp for the Blind was lost in the devastating Wine Country Fires. Since then we've been able to rebuild thanks in large part to a large number of our community and volunteers who were able to donate their time to Enchanted Hills. Since the fires, we have had two full summer camp sessions and several Changing Vision, Changing Lives, attesting to the importance of this volunteer work.

We are going to be working on projects like fire abatement, trail clearing, painting, general camp betterment projects, and more!

When: Saturday, November 2, 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with a BBQ lunch

Where: Enchanted Hills Camp, 3410 Mt. Veeder Road, Napa 94558 (see below for transportation option)

Age: All volunteers must be at least 14 years old. If you are under 18, you must have a parent or guardian with you.

Please note:

  • Volunteer jobs will be outside and you may be standing for long periods.
  • Temperatures in November will likely be cool. In the event of inclement weather, we will cancel.
  • Please wear long pants and closed-toed shoes and bring work/gardening gloves, if you have them
  • Bring a reusable water bottle

Transportation:

We will have a shuttle available from Ed Roberts Campus (3075 Adeline in Berkeley, at Ashby BART).

Meet at Ed Roberts Campus at 7:45 a.m. We will leave for EHC promptly at 8:00 a.m

IMPORTANT: You must reserve your spot on the bus as we only have a select number of places available. We will return to Ed Roberts Campus around 5:00 p.m., depending on traffic.

Please RSVP by using this form or by calling 415-694-7320. If you have any questions, please email volunteer@lighthouse-sf.org.

10:00 am: Hats Off to Loom Knitting


Nov 14

Hats Off to Loom Knitting
Thursday, November 14 & 21, 10 a.m. - Noon
Cold weather is finally descending in California! Have you ever wanted to knit that newborn baby in your life a cute and cuddly hat? Or, do you find yourself wishing that you could whip up a nifty warm cap for your cold head? Wish no more and come join the LightHouse yarn crafters for some loopy loom fun. This class will be taught over two separate sessions. In the first session, you will learn how to cast on and get your hat started using the e-wrap stitch, and about optional embellishments like adding a brim or a pom-pom. In the second session, you will learn how to bind off and finish your hat. Skill level: This class is geared to anyone who would like to spend a few hours learning how to loom knit a hat of any size from any type of loom. You do not need any particular skill except the willingness to learn, be patient and have fun!

Supplies needed:
A loom with 24, 36, or 41 pegs. You choose how adventurous to be
A looming tool (usually included with a loom)
A tapestry needle
One skein of yarn of your choosing (preferably 4 ply or thicker; chunky yarn is really great for absolute beginners)
Bringing your own supplies is strongly recommended; we will have a limited supply of materials to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis.

RSVP to Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.
