The Lands End area at the northwestern edge of San Francisco is now part of the Golden Gate National Parks. It offers many special attractions, including the ruins of Adolph Sutro's giant oceanside bathhouse, the Coastal Trail with stunning views of the Golden Gate, and windswept Lands End Point with a creative rock labyrinth to challenge walkers. Our route will include these highlights, plus the Palace of the Legion of Honor plaza, the VA Medical Center at Fort Miley, a memorial for the USS San Francisco, and sunset over the Pacific. Dress in layers (something warm plus a windbreaker). Princeton friends and children are welcome, but the route is not suitable for strollers.

Thomas Hanks is a geophysicist at the US Geologival Survey and Princeton '66. Tom has a collection of about 450 pictures his father took in 1927 and 1928 in northern AZ and southern UT, while he was traveling with Clyde Kluckhohn, who went on to become one of the great anthropologists of the 20th Century. He has spent a lot of time over the past four years doing repeat photography at these sites and ~10 % of these pairs show significant ecological/geological change. This will be a fascinating discussion for anyone interested in, and concerned about, changes in the earth over a short time horizon and for anyone with a passion for photography.

All of us have a stake in this. We each have our own perspective and all of our views are important. There is no way to solve this working only from the top down. We need to hear every voice.

The Andrew Speaker TB scare has shown that the health problems of the poorest among us and on earth are the problem of all of us. Disease is no respecter of wealth and social standing. Untreated mental health problems are as bad; but their consequences lurk beneath the surface. There is no way to calculate or control the harm one seriously ill person who gets no treatment or the wrong treatment will do.

So let us gather together and think it through together.

Over the last couple years, Arthur Albrecht, '48 has opened his home at the base of famous Lombard Street to Princeton alums joining PCNC urban walks of Nob Hill and Russian Hill. He's thrown wonderful receptions at the close of the walks, and anyone lucky enough to stop by has had tantalizing glimpses of Arthur's amazing art collection. PCNC asked, and he has graciously agreed, to open his collection to a private viewing by Princeton community members!

Arthur Albrecht, '48 has been collecting his remarkable collection for over 50 years, largely from travels as well as from local galleries and other sources. A large portion of his collection is Haitian. He began collecting Haitian art at a time when it was relatively inexpensive and developed an early interest because he had the opportunity to travel to Haiti. He also had contact with a number of people knowledgeable in Haitian art. The work he has collected over the last half-century represents most of the well-recognized artists in the Haitian art world, and consists of several dozen paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, etchings, maps, books, newspaper articles, and photographs.

In addition to Haitian art, he has collected ancient Chinese ceramic and stone work, a Chinese drawing, Mexican art, unusual Syrian paintings by a contemporary artist, as well as unique framed pieces from antique books and newspapers. This is a rare opportunity to view an amazing private collection, guided by the collector. The tour will last approximately 2 hours, with a reception following to begin at about 6:45, and planned to coincide with sunset. Weather permitting, the view from Arthur's house of the city will be spectacular!

RSVP required. Limited to 75 people.

Date:	Sunday 11/18
Time:	4:30-6:45
Location:	Private home at base of San Francisco's scenic Lombard Street, San Francisco

On the third Tuesday of each month, the PWN Book Club gathers in a member's home or an area restaurant to eat, chat, and (usually) discuss that month's literary selection. The location changes from month to month so we can be welcoming to alumnae from all over the Bay Area, and books are chosen by consensus with those who show up! 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.
