Earth Day 2001

Full Circle Events is hosting a Pagan Meet for Earth Day at the Coyote Point Museum, which is located in the beautiful Coyote Point Bayside Park in San Mateo.

We gather at noon on Sunday, April 22nd in front of the museum. Wear something green or Pagan-like so that we can identify and welcome you. Our Leaders (Sia, Owlwind and Raven) will be wearing Pagan quote buttons so you'll know us when you see us.

Coyote Point Museum is surrounded by a lovely park, right on the bay. The museum is dedicated to teaching adults and children about nature and ecology. They also have a wildlife rescue center and we will be able to see the owls, hawks, and other birds in the aviary. We will also tour the theme gardens and the wildlife habitate (which houses foxes, seals, badgers and other rescued California wildlife. The cost to enter the museum is $3.00 for adults, $2.00 for seniors, $2.00 for children ages 13 - 17 and $1.00 for children ages 4 - 12.

The park has walking trails, picnic facilities, biking trails and a playground. Bring a picnic lunch and plan to enjoy the park with us after we all tour the museum.

Children are especially welcome at this event.

Happy Earth Day, everyone!
