Drake's asks for a $5 voluntary donation at the gate; $15 buys you three beer tokens & a Drake's pint glass. If you really need more, you can buy extra tokens. If you have some tokens left from last time, like I do, you can use 'em, just don't forget your pint glass.

The event is Friday from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Incidentally, it's a really easy bike ride from the downtown BART station to Drake's, for those of you inclined to use all of your tokens.  

 

Friends of the San Leandro Library is holding its annual on Saturday morning. There will be bargain basement deals on over 10,000 books, and free continental breakfast before you shop. Proceeds go to support library programs (and they need it in this era of budget crises). 

The sale will be held at the on Saturday from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. (Friends of the Library members get first dibs on books from 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.)

 

After the sale, head over to the grand opening of the new Senior Center. It really is opening this time – officially on Monday. On Saturday, everyone's welcome to come check out the new building and sample the activities and services offered to seniors, including line dancing, fall prevention classes, Tai Chi, free bone density scanning and blood pressure checks.

Even if you're not yet senior, it's a good opportunity to tour the long-awaited building, which was recently awarded a LEED Gold rating for environmental sustainability by the U.S. Green Building Council. 

Open House is from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. The new building is on East 14th Street and 139th Avenue in front of San Leandro Hospital.
