All are invited to the "Less is More" Summer Camp's Open Day to be held July 3, 2010 at Letterman Gym in the Presidio in San Francisco from 1-3PM at 1152 Gorgas Ave. (between O'Reilly & Gorgas). There will also be an all chapter potluck to be held from 11:30AM - 12:30PM.

Directions:
These directions will cover arriving at open day from either

1. the downtown SF area (ie freeway approaches from the peninsula on 101 or the 80 bay bridge) from south and/or eastern sides of SF, or
2. the Golden Gate Bridge or 19th avenue access routes from north and/or western sides of SF.

Note: there are many ways to get to the Letterman Gym. The detailed directions listed below will work. If you are not extremely familiar with San Francisco or the Presidio, we suggest you follow the steps below. Note that some internet map programs such as Google Maps do not recognize 1152 Gorgas Avenue as an address, this may be because its past designation was as Building 1152 in the Presidio when it was an Army Base...but this is just a guess. We have found GPS systems to work fine however.

From the downtown SF area approaches:
From 101 on the peninsula or 80 Bay Bridge into SF you want to follow signs toward the Golden Gate Bridge. We will assume you can find your way to Van Ness and will not provide details to do this. Take Van Ness to Lombard and go left onto Lombard toward the Presidio. There will be signs that direct you to the Presidio and also to an "alternate route to the Presidio". Follow the signs that say " alternate route". Where Broderick intersects with Lombard, stay on Lombard bearing right and get in the left lane. Continue on Lombard about 1/2 mile in the left lane and you will see a sign that says "Presidio Crissy Field". Take this exit....it will be on your left...this exit road will take you directly to an intersection with Gorgas. Turn left onto Gorgas and follow the CISV signs to the gym at 1152 Gorgas. The gym will be past a long row of flat very old buildings on your left.

From the Golden Gate bridge and 19th avenue approaches:
If you come via 19th avenue, following it through Golden Gate Park following signs toward the Golden Gate Bridge. At a point in time, you will choose "downtown 101" which will put you onto Doyle Drive. Similarly, if you attend Open day via crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, follow signs to "Downtown 101" and you will get onto Doyle Drive. Follow Doyle Drive past the Presidio until Lyon and turn right. That will put you immediately onto Gorgas and the Letterman Gym will be the second large building on your right (the first large building is a swim center). Follow the CISV signs to gym at 1152 Gorgas.

Note: Open Day is NOT being held at the main facility of Presidio YMCA on Funston...please do not go there. Instead it is at the Letterman Gym at 1152 Gorgas.
