Shiyao Lin’s “Whisper” Art Kiosk Installation Comes to Redwood City’s Courthouse Square Start Date: Friday 7/17/2020 — End Date: Sunday 8/9/2020 Admission:free The Redwood City Improvement Association, in partnership with Fung Collaboratives, has unveiled the latest Art Kiosk Installation exhibit by interdisciplinary artist, Shiyao Lin. Lin uses her installation “Whisper” to explore the intimate aspect of communication, connection, and attachment between human beings. “Whisper” is a sculpture showcasing two figures on golden pedestals facing one another while standing six-feet apart. The two figures are connected by a single red string with two metal cans on each end as a reminder that even with social distancing in place, we can show our vulnerabilities and seek to build deeper connections with others. You can view this exhibit 24/7 from the Art Kiosk windows from Saturday, July 11 through Sunday, August 9. When viewing the exhibit through the windows, please remember to practice social distancing by staying at least six-feet away and wearing a mask.

Safest Way to Meet New Friends: Masked Face-to-F
Safest Way to Meet New Friends: Masked Face-to-Face Speed Dating Party Start Date: Sunday 7/19/2020 — End Date: Sunday 7/19/2020 Admission:25-30 While nothing is 100% safe, experts all agree that face-to-face socializing is safest when four precautions are taken: 1. Outdoors. A study of 6,000 Covid-19 positive people in China revealed that only one of the 6,000 is believed to have contracted the virus outdoors! 2. Masked. We provide free masks and require they be worn in order to be admitted to our speed dating parties. 3. Social distancing. Tables are spaced apart. 4. Limited Exposure. With speed dating you only interact with the same person for 5 minutes. Sunday, July 19, 2020. 3:00-5:00pm – Advanced Degrees Speed Dating, ages 35-55 5:00-7:00 – Young Single Professionals Speed Dating, ages 30-45 7:00-9:00pm –Single Professionals Speed Dating, ages 45-60 LOCATION: Off the Rails Brewing Co., 111 S Murphy Avenue, Sunnyvale CA. Our party is on the lovely and spacious back patio, with social distancing. Free parking! TICKETS: $25/Advance or $30/Door (If space permits), per session. We recommend you prepay on www.thepartyhotline.com, as some sections are likely to sell out. We especially need men 45-60. That age group always sells out early for women (women please DON’T sign up for the men’s section, as that destroys the male-female balance!) Food and drink available at additional cost. PLEASE NOTE: We don’t have a 60+ section because unfortunately most men over 60 will not speed date with women their own age. A sad fact of life, nothing we can do about it. MORE EVENTS at www.thepartyhotline.com. CLICK on the date(s) you want to attend. Co-sponsored by The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization. All events are fundraisers for The Seva Foundation, www.seva.org, to restore sight to the blind.
