| Hike over the East Bay Hills from Rockridge to Orinda
Starting at the main entrance to the Rockridge BART station, we'll spend a few hours in a scenic hike over the East Bay hills to Orinda, and then return in a few minutes through a tunnel on BART. The 7-mile route goes through the Rockridge neighborhood to the Claremont Hotel, and then it climbs a steep fire road with grand views west over the Bay. Lunch will be at the miniature steam train in Tilden Park. The downhill route follows old ranch roads through grasslands overlooking EBMUD reservoirs and the California Shakespeare Amphitheater, ending at the Orinda BART station by about 4 p.m. Bring lunch, liquids, sun protection, and $1.25 for the return trip on BART.

| Ivy
Alliance Treasure Hunt Sponsored by The Cornell Alumni Association of Northern California The Cornell Alumni Association of Northern California invites alumni from the Ivy League, Seven Sisters Colleges, Stanford, and MIT to participate in a Scavenger Hunt on May 22, 2004. Join the Princeton team for a high-tech treasure hunt unlike anything you've seen before. Each alumni team will be provided with a web-enabled cell phone and digital camera, then receive missions to explore the Haight Ashbury neighborhood and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The Go Game is a cutting-edge urban adventure game. Through clues downloaded to a wireless device, hints planted in unlikely places, and actors who are part of the action, you'll be guided through a city you only think you're familiar with. Clues can appear at any time, anywhere. This will be a great opportunity to meet other interesting people from your school, as you work cooperatively to solve riddles, be creative, act crazy, and have fun. Even better, through mysterious and secret patented techniques, we've managed to provide all of this to you without the awkward silences, contrived dialogues, and excessive noise of a typical bar or club event. But fear not, all you loyal patrons of inebriation and social lubrication, you'll have a chance to satiate your thirsts at our after party, where we'll all get together to toast the day, laugh at our foibles, meet the other alums, and PICK THE WINNERS! Costumes, secret agents, cool people, puzzles, water fights, and alcohol - you just can't have this much fun without an explosives permit, a pallet of beef jerky, and a flock of geese! Register by the May 1st deadline for the discounted price of $30. After May 1st the price rises to $35. Cell phones, cameras, and all equipment will be provided.

Women as a Positive Force PWN Annual Tea The Annual Tea is the keystone of the Princeton Women’s Network series of events. This is an enjoyable event that draws wonderful women from throughout the Bay Area who graduated from Princeton in the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. Each year we select a topic to get the conversation flowing, which always takes us in unexpected and interesting directions. This year we will build our discussion around Princeton women as a positive force. Each of us has a unique impact on those around us, and we will begin the conversation with a panel of alumnae from the various decades who are a positive force in diverse ways - in the community, in the workplace, in the arts, in the home, in politics. . . the possibilities are endless. We invite you to join us for a salon-style afternoon of inspiring conversation and refreshments. Please RSVP to Suzy Tompkins ’96 at stompkins@sfai.edu for directions to Madalyn’s home and further information.
