2010 USGO - Schedule of Events

Welcome Party, Thursday, May 27, 6-9:00pm

The USGO Welcome Party takes place at The Lookout SF, 3600 16th St at Market, in the Castro District, 6-9pm. The Welcome Party launches our fundraising efforts for the historic 15th Street Public Tennis Courts, just above the Castro District of San Francisco and where the Gay & Lesbian Tennis Federation all began 30 years ago. Plans are underway to renovate the courts after the USGO, and have the two tennis courts designated a historic site for their role in helping establish the organized gay & lesbian tennis movement. Come meet your competitors, enjoy some food and drinks, learn more about the 15th Street Court Project, and let us welcome you to San Francisco.
