Want to make new friends while enjoying a great meal? Or maybe you've been hoping to try a particular restaurant but never got around to gathering your friends together. Join other PCNC members who share your interest in food and wine. Uncomplicated and easy to join, you simply need to RSVP and show-up. Together with other Princetonians (and invited friends), you'll dine family-style while sharing an evening of delicious food, taste-worthy wines, cozy ambiance, and wonderful conversation. Melissa Doff '84 will coordinate our evenings for us, as we launch our first quarterly (for now!) event. Please join us at our first dinner on Thursday, June 10, 1999 at 7:30 p.m. Dinner will be held at Alegrias, Food from Spain, 2018 Lombard St. (@Webster St.), San Francisco. Parking is available at the garage across the street on Lombard. The estimated cost will be $25 to $35 per person. To RSVP, please call Melissa at (415) 221-4456 no later than Monday, June 7, 1999.

As always, please feel free to invite other interested alumns to join us! SWAT TEAM In the last two weeks of the campaign, we are looking for volunteers to be on our "Swat team" to make calls from home to a specified list of alumni. If you are interested in participating, please let us know how many people you would be willing to call, and the university will fax or mail you a list of names on or around June 15. This approach has been used in other regions with great success, increasing participation several percentage points in the last 2 weeks!
