Join the DAASV Events Committee, and help us plan and execute events and activities in 2018. Plan an event that will attract the people you want to meet. Sharpen your event planning and project management skills with like-minded alumni. This is a great starting point for getting involved in your Club.
All DAASV members are welcome.
The Dartmouth Alumni Association of Silicon Valley (DAASV) and the Class of 1977 invite all local Dartmouth alumni/ae to join a wonderful morning docent-led walk in the Palo Alto Baylands Park Nature Preserve. If you haven't explored this gem of a park, you're in for a treat! And if you are quite familiar with it, you'll have a chance to learn more and enjoy it all over again.
"The 1,940-acre Baylands Preserve is one of the largest tracts of undisturbed marshland remaining in the San Francisco Bay. Fifteen miles of multi-use trails provide access to a unique mixture of tidal and fresh water habitats. Many consider this area to be one of the best bird watching areas on the west coast. The preserve has a substantial resident population of birds as well as being a major migratory stopover on the Pacific Flyway."
The trails along the beautiful natural surroundings of the tidal bay marshes offer frequently exquisite views of shorebird wildlife; the not so natural but still appealing hills created by centuries of civilization at the edge of the bay, offer 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains, forests, and water that have created our local climate and make the Bay Area such an appealing place to live for so many.
Details: Meet at the Environmental Volunteers EcoCenter at 2560 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, 650-493-8000.
We will start with a short talk & tour of the EcoCenter led by docents.
BYO picnic lunch to follow - bring your own food & drink. Family members and other significant others are welcome to accompany you.
Enjoy further walking, running, cycling at the park after lunch, or visit other local attractions.
Help with food for the needy: Second Harvest Food Bank
Please join other Dartmouth alumni in providing some of our great “helping hands” to one of the largest food banks in the U.S., the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. Second Harvest provides food to nearly a quarter of a million people each month - people who sorely need their help. More than half of that food is healthy and nutritious fresh produce!
DAASV is scheduled for a Second Harvest Food Sort on Saturday, November 3, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Second Harvest’s Cypress Center at 4001 North First Street, San Jose. Dartmouth alums can help make a difference - and help with food for the needy in our community is a great way to provide that help!
Young, strong backs are especially welcome, as food sorting usually involves quite a bit of lifting and bending. Participants must be at least 14 years old, and youths 14 and over must be accompanied by an adult. The dress code at the Food Bank is casual and comfortable. No shorts and no tank tops are permitted. Closed toe shoes and long pants are required.
Here’s a link to a video about Second Harvest’s amazing work!
