An important note about parking: The immediate area by the site at 72 Townsend Street is metered parking. When you arrive for the morning shift, please note that the meters may not be accepting payment that early. But you’ll need to be sure to go back out to pay the meter later in the morning, as the meters will go into effect.  When you park, please double-check the meter’s hours of operation and time limits – we don’t want you to get a parking ticket!

For more info about SF parking meter policies, please visit: http://www.sfmta.com/cms/pmeter/meterrates.htm

We encourage you to use public transportation, if possible, to avoid parking issues.

If you’re attending a giveaway this weekend, it’s important to note the following:

• You MUST have a valid 2011 – 2012 high school ID to be able to attend a dress giveaway. If you do not have a current high school ID, you can bring a transcript AND a valid photo ID. No exceptions.
• Please DO NOT line up any earlier than 8:00 am for the dress giveaways. If you show up early, we will only give you an afternoon time to shop for a dress, so please DO NOT come to the giveaway location earlier than 8:00 am.
• When you receive your wristband for a time to shop, please note you may not receive a time to shop right away and may need to come back later in the day. To keep things running smoothly, we limit the number of teens that can be shopping at any given time, so we appreciate your understanding!

If you don’t have an appointment to get a dress that day, please stop by one of our regular Dress Giveaway days, which are taking place on Saturday, March 17; Saturday, March 24 and Sunday, March 25, 2012 (NOTE: The Dress Giveaway on March 25 will be on a shorter schedule, followed by event wrap-up.)
