Bay Area workday event

Tourism Cares, the Phoenix Award-winning travel industry charity dedicated to preserving the travel experience, is targeting Angel Island State Park in San Francisco Bay for a massive, workday event. Hundreds of volunteers will gather together on June 4 to roll up their sleeves in this eighth annual event and come to the assistance of California State Parks, a system hit hard in recent years by a sagging economy and budget shortfalls.

Registration is now open at www.tourismcares.org/tourism-cares-for-america/tourism-cares-for-san-francisco-bay-2010. The registration fee is $99 and includes admission to all event functions including the Thursday night cocktail reception and Friday after-work barbecue celebration, as well as the official work shirt, hat and other event merchandise.
