MISSION SAN JOSE

Saturday, April 26, 2008
The Committee for Restoration of the Mission San José is pleased to announce that Drs. Rose Marie Beebe and Robert Senkewicz have agreed to present at our upcoming General Membership Meeting in April 2008. The Mission San Jose General Membership meeting is scheduled for April 26th at 1:30 PM in the reconstructed Mission San Jose church.

The April 26th meeting will be preceded by a walking tour of the historic mission period archaeological sites located on the property of St. Joseph/Old Mission San Jose. Join Archaeologist Rick Thompson as he leads a walk to the historic Mission Period Dams and reservoir located along Mission Creek.

Meet Rick in the parish parking lot adjacent to the Mission Cemetery at 10 AM. The walk should last about 90 minutes, leaving plenty of time to enjoy lunch in one of our Mission San Jose District eateries before the 1:30 PM meeting. Sturdy walking shoes are recommended. Please be considerate of your fellow guests and leave pets and younger children at home.

Parking:  Free parking is available on site in the St. Joseph parking lot located just north of the Old mission, enter from Mission 'Boulevard.
Restaurants: There are several restaurants within walking distance (or short drive) from the Mission. We recommend the following member businesses along Mission Blvd: The Cheese Taster or Mission Coffee Roasting Co. (on Washington). Other nearby places include: McDonalds, Ohlone Pizza, Mission Burgers, Nouvelle Bistro, and Subway.
