| Blogs: |
QuesadaGardens.org - The Quesada Gardens Initiative’s blog is packed with content about community-building activity of all sorts. It started as a way to track the efforts of residents on Quesada Avenue who came together in 2002 to transform their environment by meeting one another and working together through community gardening and public art projects. Now, the blog covers a full range of happenings in the neighborhood. www.QuesadaGardens.org
Bayview Examiner - Part of a national aggregate of blogs, the Bayview Examiner is in the neighborhoods’. Much of the content parallels the Quesada Gardens blog, but offers more perspective and opinion with an emphasis on innovations in community organizing and local systems.
Bayview Hills Association – An online resource that is useful if you missed one of the police stations’ emails or an article with gardening tips. bayviewhillassociation.blogspot.com

Websites:
|
|
It wasn’t true a few years back, but most
community-based organizations, including Footprints member groups, have great
websites with information specific to their programs and perspectives. “Google” them all!
|
| BayviewFootprints.org portal site
|
Footprints member groups and others have
been asking for one internet site where anyone can go to find the range of
community-based resources available online to Bayview Hunters Point
residents. www.BayviewFootprints.org is the rough sketch of that portal site, which includes a
social networking tool. Check the
site soon for a new version that community intern Dionisia Montanez has been
pulling together with the help of Footprints volunteers. Pro bono contributions from Web
development professionals are always needed to advance this work. 415.822.0800 or info@QuesadaGardens.org

Online Calender and Event Listings:

| BayviewCalendar.org community
calendar

A completely open calendar for user-generated content
(community events and meetings) donated by Footprints’ volunteers at the
request of member groups and other community leaders who asked for a calendar
that no single group “owns.”
If you want your upcoming event listed in Footprints’ newsletters and
eblasts, be sure it is listed on the calendar.
The SF Bay View Newspaper maintains an excellent
online calendar with a focus on African American community events. Government- and redevelopment-related
event listings include BMAGIC which sends out
calendar events via email (contact Public Defender’s office at 415.558.2428,
www.benefitingbvhp.org which lists Project

Strategies Council at 510.893.2404), www.hunterspointcommunity.com
with CAC meeting listings (maintained by Lennar Urban), and regular list serv
communications from the Bayview Police Station which contain crime reports in
addition to event listings.
