SATURDAY of SERVICE 2006
SI Burlingame-San Mateo/Mid-Peninsula spent their Saturday of Service at the Coyote Point Museum, located just off 101 in San Mateo. This learning center inspires people to make a commitment in caring for the environment. They provide an educational experience for all ages through wildlife, gardens , exhibitions, and programs that relate to global environment. Our job was to copy, arrange, sew and collage pieces of fabric representing a forest scene. At the end of the day patience prevailed. When completed we carried the very large finished product into the back of the museum, laid it out on a big table and left it ready for small children to come along to touch and enjoy our tactile reproduction of a forest scene.
