Pitch In at Rancho San Gregorio: Jul 18

Founder communities get stronger when people build trust outside formal events. This volunteer day creates exactly that kind of space at Daniel Theobald's Rancho San Gregorio. A useful founder community is built through service as much as conversation. This volunteer block is a chance to spend time outdoors, help steward the property, and get to know other members while doing something tangible together. Tasks may vary with the needs of the property, so wear comfortable clothes, bring layers, and expect a relaxed, useful morning with room for casual conversation. The Details: - Where: Daniel Theobald's Rancho San Gregorio, about an hour south of San Francisco - Format: hands-on weekend volunteer block - Community: Founders Guild - Perks: coastal views, fresh air, good food, founder-to-founder conversation, and a chance to meet the ranch goats - Note: space is capped to keep the gathering intimate; please RSVP early and bring layers for changing coastal weather Best, Daniel Theobald Can't make it?
