Calling all SF Bay Area KivaFriends: our very own Mona and her husband Oliver will be in our area in just 10 days, and we're planning to meet up at the Kiva offices in San Francisco on Thursday, Sept. 10, for an afternoon tour starting sometime after 2pm and an ice cream social at 3pm-ish. There's a plan to walk to dinner afterwards, and then see the film, "Pray the Devil Back to Hell", which starts at 7pm.
If you'll be in the area and would like to join us for any or all of the day's proceedings, please let me know by Monday the 7th so we know to expect you, can include you in the directions/plans emails, and know how much ice cream to arrange for! Mona is rightfully excited about this trip, and the 10th should be a great opportunity to get together and meet each other *and* some Kiva staffers. Will you join us?
excited,
--Diane.

Sounds like great fun - wish I could join you but it will have to wait, at least until 'next time' - so you'll just have to have some extra fun and send it to me down here in Southern California!!

I will be there! I've already ordered my ticket for the movie. I was already planning on going, and then you said the two magic words: ice cream!  |

Good day,
I contacted a member from the Disabled Persons Team who also lives in the Bay Area, and he too would like to join the get-together on Thurday, September 10th.
I will contact Kerry latter with the specifics. Thank you.
Patricia
Also, he wanted to know if he can post this event on the LOTUS Team page.

"Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams." - President Barack Obama, June 4, 2009
