If you've ever dreamed about creating something beautiful in a supportive and relaxing environment, please join Rebecca Burgan and friends at the next session in the Edgewater Room. We provide all the supplies, you just need to bring an open mind and have some fun!
On Thursday at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco docent Ellen Harden will be presenting on the current Legion of Honor exhibit, Truth and Beauty: The Pre-Raphaelites and the Old Masters. Be sure to pick up your free museum ticket from the reference desk.
