December begins tomorrow, and while the holiday season is now in full force, don’t get so bogged down and preoccupied with finishing your gift buying that you forget about some goings on in Berkeley. As your friends at Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley will tell you (literally and figuratively) – “SEE what you may be missing.”
This is a season of giving, and if your stamina is up for it
and you can stand a little discomfort, there is no greater gift than helping to
save a life. On Tuesday, December 4th, consider donating
blood at UC Berkeley at the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union Building, from
noon until 6 pm. Walk-ins are accepted, but making an appointment is
encouraged. For more information, call 415-235-7617. This is one gift that will
not be bartered or traded for.
Are you into the environment, green technology, and all
things related to sustainable energy? If yes, you might be very interested in
attending the lecture: “Can
We Make Low-Carbon Sustainable Energy For All Work?” This event will be
held at the Banatao Auditorium, which is also located at UC Berkeley. It takes
place the day after the blood drive, so make sure you’ve got your energy level
back up as this will be an informative, worthwhile presentation.
Art buffs and culture enthusiasts will have a number of choices in store, one of which is the WONDER: 2012 Artist’s Annual, taking place at the Berkeley Art Center on Thursday, December 6th. Come browse through the halls, where a variety of artwork will be on display. (Oh, and if you wear either eyeglasses or contact lenses – clean them, and don’t forget to wear them!)
Although snow is sparse (O.K., non-existent) in Northern California, there’s no reason not to get into the spirit of holiday season, for those who celebrate. Upcoming events include the Kairos Youth Winter Concert on December 9th at St. John’s Presbyterian Church at 6:00 pm, and a Klezmer Chanukah party at the Subterranean Art House on December 13th at 9:00 pm.
As you can see, Berkeley is booming with exciting events and happenings in December. To enjoy every moment the season brings, be sure to keep your eyesight as healthy as possible. While you’re decking the halls, thing about decking yourself out in a new pair of eyeglasses to really help capture these special times. And if you haven’t scheduled your annual eye exam, this is the time to do so. Eye exams, eyeglasses, sunglasses (yes, the sun can still be blindingly bright in December), contact lenses and more are yours for the choosing at Site for Sore Eyes.
