Founded in 1982 Different Spokes was one of the “first wave” of sports organizations in the San Francisco gay community. We’ve managed to survive and thrive to reach—gasp!—middle age! If you are a current member of Different Spokes San Francisco, you should already have received an email invitation to attend. If you are a former member or just a “fellow traveler”, you can still join in the fun and celebration by also going to the Pingg invitation site—just go to the following URL—http://event.pingg.com/DSSF30Years—and sign in. Please do so no later than Wednesday January 23. If you want to attend and it’s after January 23 and you haven’t reserved, please contact David Gaus (president@dssf.org) and he’ll see what he can do.
The banquet will include a short (emphasis on the word short!) program with brief remarks about the club as well as recognizing those individuals who led rides in 2012, as volunteer rides are the life blood of the club. The dinner will be buffet style and there will be vegetarian options. Water and soda are included. The cost is $30 per person (including tax and tip) and you can pay at the door with cash or with a check made out to Different Spokes. Or, if you prefer to prepay, you can remit via PayPal to dg@dgolds.com; be sure to mark the payment as a “gift”. Alcoholic beverages will be available however we request that you order and pay for them directly at the bar.
See you there!
