SPJ NorCal’s Freedom of Information Committee is hosting a workshop on California’s Shield Law.
Come learn about what the law does and doesn’t cover, as well as examples of how it has been applied with real-world cases. The recent detention and search and seizure of freelance stringer Bryan Carmody has prompted discussions about the Shield Law among local officials and law enforcement alike; it’s time for journalists to come together and do the same. Working journalists and students are invited to attend.
*Pizza and soft drinks to be served
Tuesday, July 23 at 6:30 p.m., at UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

Gardening at your Local Library
July gardening programs for all ages, all size gardens
This summer the public is invited to dive into the dirt with gardening events at San Francisco branch libraries across the City. Participants can learn about succulents, worm composting and how to garden in an apartment.
They can pick up new plants at the Ortega Branch plant swap or swing by the Portola Branch in San Francisco’s official Garden District to check out the “seed library” or help maintain their flourishing garden. Author/gardening expert Pam Peirce will discuss how to get the most from a small-space San Francisco food garden at the Sunset Branch.
Along with Fog City Gardener, teens and tweens can learn to harvest honey, arrange flowers and support bees.
