PARKING:
The best options for parking for this shift are to get dropped off, carpool, OR use the shuttle! OI main lot, fishing pier lot, and cove road lots will all be CLOSED.
If you get dropped off, Parking Security will let your driver take you to the roundabout.
Free Shuttle runs from 6:30am to 8:15pm every 25-30 minutes on 9/13 and 9/14, picking passengers up at the satellite lot at Dana Hills High School and dropping off at the roundabout in front of our parking lot. If you choose to do this, arrive 45 minutes-1 hour prior to your shift to make it in on time. 
The next nearest parking lot by Baby Beach will be OPEN, but will most likely be full and difficult to secure a spot here. You can try the structure on Dana Point Harbor Drive + Golden Lantern, they offer four hours of free parking.

SHIFT DETAILS:
This is the standard Public Programs weekend rotations shift. We will have Sahm open as normal, Tank Farm will be open, the front room of At Sea will be occupied by Bob Minty and his whaling artifacts. There will be several unique activities happening in the courtyard, including Gutter Races, Scrimshaw, Mermaid Story Time, and Mermaid Makeovers. Volunteers will rotate every 30 minutes-1 hour; two people at scrimshaw do not rotate for the shift.
