Our annual Summer Concert was a standing-room-only success!

The Friends of Slow Hearst had a blow-out Fifth Annual Summer Block Party last weekend. Hundreds of people showed up. Who knew there were so many kids in the neighborhood!

Your voice is needed in the search for San Francisco’s next Chief of Police! The Police Commission is actively seeking community input to help shape the qualifications and priorities for this critical leadership role. Your participation is essential to ensure the new chief reflects the values and needs of our city.

Upcoming Community Meetings

This week, there are two opportunities to make your voice heard in person. These meetings, facilitated by Chief Daniel Hahn (retired), are a chance to share what you believe are the most important attributes for the next police chief. Whether it’s a commitment to community policing, transparency, or a specific set of skills, this is your chance to influence the decision.

• Richmond Library: Tuesday, August 26, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at 351 9th Ave.
• North Beach Library: Wednesday, August 27, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 850 Columbus Ave.

For those who can’t make it this week, don’t worry—four more meetings are scheduled for mid-September. Keep an eye out for details on those dates.

Can’t attend? You can still provide input!

If you’re unable to attend a meeting, you can still submit your thoughts. The Police Commission and the Mayor’s Office are also reviewing written comments and formal letters. You can send your input to Input-SFPC@ralphandersen.com. Your feedback, along with survey responses, will be considered as part of the selection process.

The article in the local online news outlet, The Frisc, “This SF Adventure Has Rare Architecture, Soaring Public Art, and No Tourists in Sight,” is a guide to exploring our Sunnyside neighborhood. It highlights the area’s unique features, including rare architecture, public art, pocket parks, and a self-guided walking tour.
