Start off August right with pub night at the BBC. If it's scorching, we'll be inside; if it's pleasant, we'll be outside on the patio. In either case, look for at least one person (me) wearing a ridiculously orange shirt. :-) See you there!

Discover some of San Francisco's special charm on an afternoon walk up and down through two of San Francisco's hilly neighborhoods. Starting at the Gap store by the cable car turnaround at the Powell Street BART station, we will climb up Nob Hill to Grace Cathedral at the crest of the hill, with its stunning bronze doors and its indoor and outdoor labyrinths. After another pause to see the machinery that operates the cable cars, we will move on to explore the parks and garden stairways of Russian Hill, including Macondray Lane (the setting for Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City"), the curvy block of Lombard Street, and an extraordinary Diego Rivera mural in the San Francisco Art Institute. We will finish at Aquatic Park and the historic ships docked at the Hyde Street Pier. We can return to Powell Street via the cable car ($5) or SF Muni bus ($1.50). Princeton friends and children are welcome.

RSVP is helpful, but not required.

Did you know that you don't have to fly to New Jersey or Maryland to find high quality lacrosse? It is right in our backyard!

As this is the final home game of the season, the Dragons are hosting an 'Alumni Day' and will run a full-day of fun inclusive of:

Ryan Powell of the Dragons won League MVP and Offensive MVP awards for 2006, capping off a very successful inaugural season. The Dragons are maintaining this high standard of play in 2007, and undoubtedly, have their sights set on an MLL Championship!

Silicon Valley mother of four Genevieve Hutcheson Butcher '89 has run many marathons, but the rewards have been more tangible than just crossing the finish line. She has spun her experiences into a philosophy and methodology called "The Sport of Motherhood."

Join her as she introduces the topic to a cozy group of local alumnae in Palo Alto. Discussion of the topic and the participants' experiences will be accompanied by dinner and beverages.

To reach her target audience of busy moms, Butcher '89 has introduced her Sport of Motherhood program in multiple formats: as a TV talk show, a book, a website, special-topics classes, an email newsletter, boot camps, and even an online help column.

As her book overview highlights, the Sport of Motherhood is not about being a supermom. It's about discovering your goals and learning to pace yourself so that you will get where you want to go. It's about learning to run *your* race.

Her book "The Sport of Motherhood: Training Tips for a Full & Balanced Life" will be available for purchase at the event. Butcher '89 graduated with a B.A. in Art and Archeology from Princeton and received Masters Degrees in Secondary Education and English LIterature from Penn.

"Food for Thought" is a quarterly Princeton Women's Network event that provides an opportunity for alumnae to engage in focused discussion on a wide variety of topics.

When RSVPs are final, the hostess will coordinate potluck plans with the attendees. If necessary, attendance will be limited by the space available.
