Housing Need

I'm looking for a room to rent, preferably somewhere in Oakland. I go to FPCB, but work in Oakland. I'm looking to move in as soon as possible, but something available starting in December could be great too. Contact Amy at: amysaleh@gmail.com or 510-731-4058.

Schedule change for
Young Adult Life (YAL)

Since YAL began about a year ago, it has met on a weekly basis, every Friday night. At our October meeting, we decided to change that frequency to twice a month, 1st and 3rd Fridays.

The leadership team fully encourages people in groups of all sizes to be coordinating social and service events together, especially in weeks where YAL will not be meeting.

I always welcome feedback, so feel free to email me comments or questions about YAL any time.
