Join Princeton alumni in helping organize children's events at the annual Champions Run for Children, a benefit for the pediatric HIV/AIDS program at UCSF Children's Hospital. We'll help with registration, organizing runs, refreshment distribution, passing out T-shirts and goodie bags and handing ribbons to kids as they cross the finish line. All volunteers are rewarded with t-shirts, refreshments, and much appreciation. This event was a big success two years ago. Help make this year's even better.

The Princeton Club of Northern California and San Franciso Opera join together to bring you an afternoon of music and culture.

Join your colleagues for The Italian Girl in Algiers by Giaccomo Rossini, performed in the historic War Memorial Opera House. Attend a pre-opera lecture and mingle at our exclusive champagne reception during intermission. Don’t miss this special event!

San Francisco Opera’s production of Rossini's The Italian Girl in Algiers is a madcap romp about a spunky signorina and a self-important despot. Literally popping out of a stage-sized child’s storybook, this clever production is inspired by the innocence and style of the 1930s. Witness the fantasy world where anything can (and does) happen as the resourceful Italian Girl arrives on the exotic shores of Algeria and uses her womanly wiles to save the day.

Attend the San Franciso Opera's free Opera Talk in the War Memorial Opera House 55 minutes prior to the performance. Opera scholars will enrich your opera experience by discussing the music, history, and behind-the-scenes background of that night’s production.

During the first intermission, mingle with fellow alums in the Grand Tier North Promenade for a special all-you-can-drink champagne reception ($15 in addition to ticket price). A PCNC representative will be on hand to welcome guests.

Ticket prices will range from $30-72 depending on seating section (plus $15 for champagne reception). San Francisco Opera is pleased to offer Princeton alumni this package that includes a special discount of 15% off regular ticket prices.

This offer will be available online only, not by phone or in person, and will expire September 11, 2005. Offer is subject to availability. Directions to the website where tickets can be purchased directly will be announced later this summer.

Please RSVP if you are interested in this event so that we can get an approximate count of attendees.

You can find more information about The Italian Girl in Algiers, including advance program notes and audio clips on San Francisco Opera’s website www.sfopera.com.

Pinot Noir has been enjoying a surge of popularity since the release of the film Sideways, but wine afficianados have long considered it one of the most elegant and interesting red wines. Originating in Burgundy, France, Pinot Noir is now grown up and down the west coast of the United States with each region producing a distinctive style of wine. At this tasting, we will sample Pinot Noirs from Santa Barbara, Northern California, Oregon and Burgundy. The wines will be accompained by various Pinot friendly appetizers and the mood will be set by the classic style of Memory House Antiques (courtesy of James Lee '86). As always, this PCNC wine tasting is for anybody who enjoys a nice glass of red wine.
