Princeton Club members will have the best seats in town for the legendary Blue Angels Air Show for Fleet Week, one of San Francisco's favorite annual events. The Commodore Merlot will be filled with orange and black as Princetonians enjoy a 3-hour cruise featuring gourmet hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar for beverages. We'll depart from Pier 40 and take in San Francisco Bay's most beloved sights: AT&T Park, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, Alcatraz, the bridges and maybe even some sea lions and harbor seals. There will be indoor and outdoor seating from which to enjoy the views. Wear your orange and black for the festivities!

The yacht will begin boarding at 1:00 pm at Pier 40 in South Beach Harbor near AT&T Park in San Francisco and will depart promptly at 1:30 pm. (Note: Pier 40, South Beach Harbor is near AT&T Park and not next to Pier 39!) The yacht will return and dock at 4:30 pm.

Recent selections have included both fiction and non-fiction, modern and classic, from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to "The Botany of Desire", "The Virgin Suicides", and "Ender's Game". New participants are welcome all the time.

Please join us for a brunch with Gordon Chang '70, director of Stanford's Asian American Studies Program. Gordon will talk with us about the evolution of Asian American Studies as a discipline and the culture and politics of how it has developed among elite universities. There will be an opportunity for the audience to engage in conversation with Gordon, as well as talk collectively about how the environment for such courses has changed at Princeton over the years.

When Gordon Chang '70 arrived at Princeton, he was only one of 5 Asian Americans among a class of 800 men. His scholarship explores the historical connections between race and ethnicity in America and foreign relations. Recently published books include Chinese American Voices and Asian Americans and Politics: An Exploration.

We are delighted to welcome Princeton University Professor David Dobkin, Dean of the Faculty, former Chair of the Computer Science Department, and Phillip Y. Goldman '86 Professor in Computer Science to the Bay Area as our special guest for the evening. He will speak about themes from his popular Freshman Seminar "Sex, Money, and Rock and Roll: Information Technology and Society." He says, "Three of the drivers of the web have been the porn industry, the financial industry and the sharing and selling of digital music. As the web becomes ubiquitous in our society, a number of policy and legal issues arise that need to be resolved."

Dean Dobkin has impressed his students with his openness and approachability by inviting them all to be his friend on Facebook.com and through his photo-blogging site of life as a Princeton administrator. Dobkin, who has worked at Princeton since 1981, is an innovator in the field of three dimensional modeling, having recently worked on a project aimed at building a three-dimensional version of Google as well as creating software to deal with modeling faces and images.

In addition to Dobkin's presentation, guests will enjoy the traditional PCNC awards presentation, as well as be treated to excellent food by the chefs-in-training at the California Culinary Academy and wine from the vineyards of alumnus Bill Hambrecht '57.

It is an appropriate time of year to don orange and black, so please dress in festive business casual Princeton attire for the evening.
