Teja presents a program that reflects his diverse musical interests, with a typical set including originals, Celtic traditionals, classical pieces, jazz standards, and some favorite tunes by his fingerstyle guitar peers. Teja’s piece “Takoma” won the instrumental category of the 2025 USA Songwriting competition, and Acoustic Guitar magazine called his most recent album Test of Time, “A sonic marvel, from top to bottom.”“Gerken’s technical facility is obvious, his performances impeccable, and his tones gorgeous” – Barry Cleveland, <a href="https://guitarplayer.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMWZOa0ZobE5lSnhPTFVpU3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6D6S8qJSAjOz4NOmlz_c3sxCogWM9I__Izj1eCW14Hs4z_oYlXDGsEnZdrfA_aem_kkcJzdlv3ocwcWKw2cFczw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">guitarplayer.com.</a><a href="https://www.tejagerken.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMWZOa0ZobE5lSnhPTFVpU3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5o5b632_qSIQlJugzlrtcgVUJ1nBDqZ5gSC4vAIdiSeGyCwQa2tjAgMIH8Uw_aem_q5stEOZV7PUMmdaByNnBKA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.tejagerken.com</a>

First Presbyterian Church

On Sunday, June 28 from 11:15 - 12:15, join us for "Caring for Caregivers" at First Presbyterian Church of San Rafael, at 1510 5th Ave (at E St), which is handicap accessible. All are welcome.
Caregivers of family members give generously of themselves, but sometimes the needs of their loved ones outpace their time energy and resources, leaving them feeling overwhelmed, fatigued and uncertain where to turn when they need support for themselves.
How can we help the caregivers in our community? How do we know what they need? Where can we go to get detailed answers and specific resources?
For more than 40 years, the Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) has provided services to family caregivers of adults with physical and cognitive impairments, such as Parkinson's, stroke, Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. Services include assessment, care planning, direct care skills, wellness programs, respite services, and legal/financial consultation vouchers. FCA is a longtine advocate for caregivers in the areas of policy, health and social system development, research, and public awareness on the state, national and international levels.
Join us for a presentation on the resources available, by Jenevieve Rodriguez Liu, Family Caregiver Alliance's (FCA's) Community Engagement &amp; Communications Coordinator.

San Geronimo Valley Community Center

This summer, we are thrilled to celebrate Valley Games X, the tenth anniversary of this one-of-a-kind event that could only happen here in the San Geronimo Valley.
Part Olympics, part block party, and entirely Valley-style, the Valley Games have become one of the Community Center’s most beloved traditions — bringing together neighbors of all ages for a day of friendly competition, laughter, teamwork, and unforgettable community memories.
Held on Saturday, August 29, Valley Games X is a family-friendly event where Valley villages compete in Olympic-style games for glory across a wildly entertaining lineup of events, including Cornhole, Hacky Sack, Ping Pong, Chess, Baking, an Obstacle Course, Basketball Hot Spot, and more.
Representing villages from across the Valley, teams including the Lagunitas Lightning, Forest Knolls Trolls, San Geronimo Running Salmon, Woodacre Wild Turkeys, Nicasio Newts, and the Townies will come together for a full day of camaraderie, community spirit, and good-natured rivalry.
New to the Valley Games? It’s easy to join the fun. Teams are made up based on the village you live in — or identify with — so simply sign yourself or your family up, and we’ll place you on your village team the day of the event.As Valley Games X marks ten years of community fun, this year’s celebration also honors someone who has helped shape the spirit behind the event from the very beginning: the Community Center’s own Helen Ferlino. To top off the festivities, beloved Bay Area band New Monsoon will rock the Community Center Courtyard for an afternoon birthday celebration.

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.
