DESCRIPTION: This will be the first of our bonfires 2024 season. Thanks go to Phil F for bringing supplies and saving the fire ring, Sam Cohen for bringing wood, and Jay & Luciano for handling supplies after May! We're ready for another great season of chilling together by the bay!
VOLUNTEERS: We could ALWAYS use a couple of volunteers, particularly anyone who can arrive early to secure one of the fire rings. So please let us know if you can lend a hand!
WHAT TO BRING:
1) Potluck item and a beverage of your choice. (Alcohol is prohibited in Mission Bay Park.)
Remember, we CAN have too many desserts, but we can never have too many entrees
and sides. If you have a dessert you're eager to bring, lovely! But if you're on the fence,
maybe think dinner instead.
2) A beach chair if you'd like to sit. Bonus points if you bring a spare for others to use!
3) A serving utensil if your dish needs one. A portable table, paper plates, cups, utensils, napkins or firewood are also much appreciated! (CMG will make sure these are covered.)
4) A significant other, friend, or cuddle buddy (or all three).
DIRECTIONS: Take the I-8 freeway west toward Mission Bay, exit onto Mission Bay Drive and make a right, then merge into the far left hand lane onto Ingraham Street, heading North, then make a left onto Vacation Rd as if you were heading into Paradise Point Resort (previously Pacific Princess Resort). Then an immediate Right before entering the resort to get to the side parking lot. We’ll be on the left (West) side of parking lot by the rest rooms. (Note: we're on the WEST side of Ingraham St. Don't confuse this spot with a similar one on the east side of the street.)
