9:30 am: Enchanted Hills Community Volunteer Day9:30 am: Enchanted Hills Community Volunteer Day – Last October, a devastating series of wildfires broke out in Napa County which severely damaged Enchanted Hills Camp. The wildfire destroyed almost 29 of our lower camp structures in the redwoods, including the 10 cabins that have housed hundreds of summer campers and counselors every year since 1950. This past summer, Enchanted Hills welcomed back campers for the first time since the devastating fires. While blind campers have played, roamed, and grown over this past summer, our camp needs help regrowing as well! Will you help us? We are hosting a Volunteer Day at Enchanted Hills Camp on Saturday, October 6th. We will be coming together as a community to rebuild our home away from home. Some projects that we may work on include, trail maintenance, invasive species removal, and building. We will also have a BBQ lunch! We only have a limited number of spaces, so RSVP to volunteer today! Some more details about the day: • When: Saturday, October 6th • Time: 9:30 am – 3 pm, with a BBQ lunch • Where: Enchanted Hills Camp | 3410 Mt. Veeder Road, Napa 94558 • 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 RSVP here.

SF Recreation and Park Deaf-Blind Recreation Program. For more information, contact: 10:00 am: Knitting10:00 am: Knitting – Every week, our knitters gather to share their purls of wisdom and get in the loop on each other’s latest project, and usually end up in stitches spinning yarns. Whether you knit for pleasure, distraction or just practical economics, or you’ve never done it before and want to give it a try, there’s always room for another loom. Learn, refine, or teach a skill that makes your gift-giving budget lighter weight or support a student-led altruistic project like knitting chemo caps, beanies for babies, lap blankets or other creative applications.
