Club News

Hello UD Members

Hello All,  This is you fearless Urban Diversion founder welcoming everyone back from the Grand Canyon trip!  You have to check out the pictures, an amazing trip!

We have just put out the July calendar, and August is on the way with Bungee Jumping, Cave Crawling, a Yosemite back country camping, the start of the SF Symphony's new season, and more.

I know that many of you reading these newsletters have not been to events as much as you had hoped, you are not alone, it is quite often the case that members will come to some events one month and not be able to attend any events in the next month.  We are also getting lots of new members into the club each month, so you should always feel welcome to register for any events and meet some new and old faces.
