Asylum Access: All proceeds will be donated to Asylum Access, a non-profit organization based in San Francisco that provides legal aid to refugees in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Legal aid enables refugees to obtain asylum, or legal sanctuary, in their first country of refuge. Asylum protects refugees from unjust deportation, detention, or death, helps them to assert their human rights and rebuild their lives.

Emily Arnold-Fernandez, refugee rights activist and founder of Asylum Access, will speak about her work at 7:30 PM. A recent graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, Emily Arnold-Fernandez has practiced in the areas of human rights, employment, and civil rights law on behalf of a variety of disenfranchised communities. In 2006, she received the Inspirational Young Alumna Award from her undergraduate university, Pomona College.

She will present a training program for the challenges of life. We can train ourselves, prepare, and keep our stamina - for the long run. In "Jumpstart Your Spring," we will go over goal and time management strategies, including: clarifying objectives, utilizing a 24-hour time grid, developing a personalized support network, and setting a realistic pace.

On the second Wednesday 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.

PCNC symposiums are an opportunity for bright people to get together to explore the possibilities for solving important issues. Energy will be a key issue in the November elections.

We will talk about ideas, plans, and details for such things as biofuel, renewable energy, Cleantech, and alternate power. We will talk about how to focus the national debate on innovative solutions, not complaints and personalities. There are many things we can be doing now if we can summon the national will to do them.

Jaideep Raje, an analyst at Lux Research, will help facilitate our discussion. Jaideep has served as content lead and lead author on Lux Research's recently-published reference study "The Cleantech Report" and covers a broad range of innovations for Lux Research's alternative power and energy storage intelligence service. He has been interviewed as a subject matter expert by media sources like Bloomberg, Financial Times, and NPR.
