![invite cover.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPWTVDmEVRgYEb8gHktiXZh3Gat4JFJsdPDqKrsVDYqSW/invite%20cover.jpg) ### If you are in Southern California and are on Steemit you are officially invited to join us for a meet up and BBQ!! So... we understand that Southern California is a large area. And so we do plan to rotate the locations of the @socalsteemit meetups throughout the different areas of SoCal and we hope to work on building sub-communities (S.D., L.A., O.C., I.E., etc...) within the #socalsteemit community that could be meeting on a more regular basis. For the location of this meetup we have chosen Fairmount park in Riverside!! ![park.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNWu5YF5fm4MjVq1ejPnsurZ6DuMUnGadWr1wiKnxRH6x/park.jpg) The park is very nice and fairly large with lots of amenities. There are 3 lakes which provide for fishing and lots of trees which make the place a haven for birdlife. There are picnic tables, bbqs, drinking fountains, playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, horseshoe pits, rose gardens... and the list goes on. https://steemitimages.com/DQmSyGeNRY6s26cEfjnw5D14mhACJTKNRCTRtVABSgYdTVR/lake.jpg Fairmount Lake **Date/time -** Sunday, February 25th at 2pm **Location -** [Fairmount Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairmount_Park_(Riverside,_California)), 2241 Market St, Riverside, CA 92501 **Directions -** From the 60 freeway exit Market St. and go south. The park will be on the right. You can enter the park on Redwood Dr. or Locust St. I recommend Locust as that goes directly to the southeast parking area which is closest to the picnic areas we plan to use. I will make a large sign (or 2) to make it easier to find and ID the group. **Maps -** ![map.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWvXa1dzLKGFgRrN3BFHkTLxnaS3ngeLGaa2ULxHMSa1n/map.jpg) ![parkmap.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQRRhbgDQrTpczS729o36Z1GUPAL8VCWb4QgJt3RX4ibP/parkmap.jpg) **Agenda -** Mostly we just plan to have a bit of fun BBQing and getting to know our fellow members. We will also be discussing our plans and ideas for growing and supporting the #socalsteemit community into the future. And if you have any other good ideas to add to the agenda do not hesitate to let us know in the comments or feel free to contact us in our SoCal Steemit [Discord](https://discord.gg/AedrxKA) server! ## We look forward to seeing you there! ![scs.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNg23wwPXEhQYbHZwwxWaJJK7qT3kh9FY2xLs6hCcurQx/scs.jpg) *_All Photos taken by @derekrichardson and used with his permission._ [![Socalsteemitbanner2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZE7uhQu8126QUsxGTrYS735YBSQoyfGqWRLd3t443uYr/Socalsteemitbanner2.jpg)](https://discord.gg/TeX8QBz) #### #SoCalSteemit is building and supporting the Steemit community of Southern California.
