Yale Day of Service: CA, Tiburon - Outdoor workday at historic Immigration Station in Angel Island State Park
For the 11th year, Yale alumni will help clean the grounds of the former U.S. Immigration Station on Angel Island, a National Historic Landmark. Yalies will clean brush, weeds, and other debris, eat the bag lunch they bring, then enjoy an educational tour from Grant Din '79, former staff with the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation.
The immigration station was in use between 1910 and 1940 and processed approximately one million immigrants from 80 countries. It was primarily in use to enforce the Chinese Exclusion Acts, in effect from 1882 to 1943. Learn more at www.aiisf.org.
The group will meet at 7:30 at Tiburon (parking is $5 nearby), and carpools will be available from San Francisco's Ferry Building at 6:45 a.m.
Bring a lunch and water; tools will be provided (if you have favorite gloves, tools, etc. feel free to bring them).
Affordable ($5) parking is down the street next to the CVS - put in 1599 Tiburon Blvd., Tiburon into your GPS. Breakfast and lunches you can take to the island are available from 7 a.m. on at Cafe Acri next to the ferry dock, but allow enough time to order and get your food.
