Upcoming Meetings

Before the pandemic SHARP met on the last Monday of the month in the ground floor meeting space of our building, 1736 Ninth Avenue.  As the pandemic progressed in early 2020, we  found it necessary to go virtual and had moved our meetings to Zoom.  We are now trying to get back to both live and Zoom meetings  To find the next meeting go to the MEETINGS page of the web site

  • SOLUTIONS TO THE HOME INSURANCE CRISIS?

    Thursday, July 16, 2026

    California’s home insurance system is collapsing. When home insurance fails, families can lose the ability to protect their homes, qualify for mortgages, or recover after fire, storm, or other disasters. Some homeowners will have to pay far more or go uninsured.

    Patrick Wolff will speak to us July 17 on California’s home insurance crisis, the case for reform, and maybe building a coalition for change. Patrick Wolff is our neighbor and a financial analyst who built a home-and-auto insurance brokerage. He ran for California Insurance Commissioner in the June election.  Find out how the insurance crisis impacts you, and get your questions answered.

    WHERE: SHARP clubhouse, 1736-9th Avenue (cross street: Moraga)

    WHEN: July 16, 7 PM
