Research has linked women board directors with strong performance at Fortune 500 companies, yet women currently hold only 14.7% those seats. We re out to change that. Women on Boards is an annual panel discussion designed to educate and prepare women for board service. Having originated in Minneapolis in 2002, Women on Boards is now held annually in Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Dallas, San Francisco and Atlanta. A panel of top-level executives with extensive board experience will share their knowledge and the necessary tools for serving as a director. Discussion will focus on being an effective board member, how to position oneself to serve on a board and how to transition from serving on non-profit boards to for profit boards. An interactive Q&A and reception will follow.

Get your crab crackers in hand! As part of "SF Chefs. Food. Wine.," a series of seasonal city-wide food celebrations, Dungeness Crabs will be the star of the first week-long tribute to the city’s favorite crustacean. Forty-four esteemed chefs have teamed up in honor of one of the most quintessentially San Franciscan foods. Each of the restaurants will don crab-clad menus at the end of February to support the celebration.
In addition to Dungeness crab inspired dishes, diners who visit participating restaurants during the promotion and pay with their Visa Signature card will also receive a complimentary commemorative cookbook featuring all things crab, including special recipes from the chefs and restaurants involved in the promotion, while supplies last.
As a part of the celebration, the 7th annual Crab Cracking Contest at Union Square benefiting the San Francisco 49ers Foundation will be held Saturday, February 28. Union Square chefs paired with San Francisco 49ers and local celebrities will compete in a crab cracking contest, as tastes of the created crab dishes, a beer and wine garden, music and other activities for the entire family fill the Square.

Givin the annual sub text (there's a sub in every parade), that of giving homage to the business of religion and the religion of buisness,this year promises extra fun in the concrete canyons of greed and deceit. Stick the head of your favorite overpaid ceo on a stick (and the amount of his/her crime)....bring PINK SLIPS and EVICTION NOTICES for the HQs of the not so free market...print your own money for bail outs, pay offs and buy ins. Fun for all ages! Drums and other noise production devices encouraged. Attend at your own risk. Watch your step. Spread the word."

Ferries to Alcatraz leave from Pier 33
San Francisco |
| Phone: |
415-981-ROCK [415-981-7625] |
New docent tours of the Historic Gardens of Alcatraz are revealing the “softer side of ‘The Rock’” to those who visit the popular national park site. Held each Friday and Sunday at 9:30 a.m., the docent tours leave from the island’s dock area, so those interested must take the 9am boat from Pier 33. There is no additional charge once visitors are on the island. For those who can’t fit a docent tour into their visit, a self-guided walking tour of the gardens is described in a new brochure, which is available for free at the dock on Alcatraz. During the docent tour, visitors explore five garden areas inspired by the work of many early gardeners on The Rock. When the prison was closed in 1963, the gardens were abandoned. Nonetheless, nearly 200 species of shrubs, succulents, bulbs and perennials continued to survive in rocky soil with no fertilizers or supplemental water. Vintage images and historical records of the Alcatraz gardens from the mid-1800s through 1963 were carefully reviewed for the “Historic Gardens of Alcatraz” preservation project, which was spearheaded by the Garden Conservancy in partnership with the Golden Gate National Parks and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
