Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley Salutes Memorial Day


This Monday is a holiday. Some people will have barbecues, some will start enjoying the summer season early, and others will just relax. However you choose to spend your time, the staff at Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley recommends you be mindful of your eyes and take care.

Should you host or attend a barbecue, remember to keep a safe distance from the flames of the cooking. That old song, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes is a romantic tune; not one to be tested literally, so stay vision safe, by keeping your eyeglasses or contact lenses in order. Oh, let us not forget to about your sunglasses as well!

Attention is in order, however, and we must remember the meaning behind this Memorial Day holiday. This is a day of remembrance for the brave men and women who gave their lives for our country, helping us enjoy the freedoms we have today.

There will certainly be a lot of activity this weekend. People will be about and the streets will be crowded. If you read this blog early enough, you may want to hear some music for a good cause, at the UNICEF Tap With a Beat Benefit Concert, tonight at 7:00 at the Anna Head Alumnae Hall, 2537 Haste Street. If you wish to order tickets, go to http://uniceftapwithabeat.eventbrite.com/#. Enjoy!

If you’re feeling a bit artistic, consider attending Mosaic Art Classes, taking place tomorrow (10am-4pm) and Sunday (10am-1pm), being held at Studio D Mosaics, located at 1805 2nd St. Call 925-588-5306 for further information.

Finally, you have the option of checking out what’s going on at Lawrence Hall at University of California, where a variety of events are taking place, including the premiere of a 3-D movie, Great White Shark, and a starry view at the Planetarium. Visit the Outdoor Science Park to learn about the forces of nature that made the San Francisco Bay what it is, and if you want to get an even bigger view of things, check out the Science on a Sphere (SOS) ® exhibit. Call 510-542-5132 for more information.

Have fun, be safe and keep those who have protected our country in your hearts this Memorial Day.
