Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort http://www.sierraattahoe.com/

(In good weather and normal traffic, Midtown Sacramento to Sierra-at-Tahoe takes about 1.5-1.75 hours. In bad weather, much longer! It’s also Super Bowl Sunday, so traffic should be very light….sorry football fans for the date selection!)

Meet up at 9:30am, under the big map by the base lodge, to meet your fellow skiers/riders and find people at your level to ski with. (Remember to allow for the time it takes to get ready at the car, eat a snack, get your lift ticket, and go through the equipment rental line…). We’ll probably do lunch at Noon at the base lodge–upper deck if it’s nice and somewhere inside if it’s not.

First time beginners: Check out the AMAZING online $35 Learn to Ski/Ride Package! If you have any questions about what to wear, what to bring, what to expect, choosing skiing vs snowboarding, send me an email. Sierra-at-Tahoe is a great resort because you can see Lake Tahoe from the summit of a green (beginner) run.

If you are willing to drive, please email me with your general location (eg: Midtown, Natomas, Folsom, Davis, etc) and how many passengers you can take. If you need a ride, email me your general location. Let me know by January 30th. I’ll then put each group in touch with each other to figure things out on your own.

Stormy weather and hazardous road conditions will likely cancel. Call me if you have any doubts. Other than that, I don’t want to over-organize this trip–think of it as a “come and go as you please” event. No need to RSVP.

Hope to see you there!

Happy Hour Jan 21st @ Spataro, 5:30pm

Come celebrate the 2nd anniversary of our Monthly Happy Hour series – that’s right, two years of Big Red libations and fun in midtown Sac and Davis!

When: Thursday, January 21st, 5:30pm – 7:30pm (or so)

Where: Spataro Restaurant and Bar (14th and L, midtown Sac)

What: Cornell Monthly Happy Hour (including Stanford and Yale groups)

Why: Because Thursday is the new Friday! Go Big Red!

We’ll have some tables in the back of the lounge area reserved for us. So when you walk in the entrance on L Street, head to the left (towards the bar), then walk towards the back wall.

To commemorate the occassion, Uncle Ezra will be chipping in with FREE FOOD! That’s right, we’ll be hitting up our favorite rich uncle for some help on the apps.

Connecting with Prospective Local Cornellians

Our Cornell Ambassador group, CAAAN, that reaches out and connects with high school seniors who are considering Cornell as a college choice, could really use your help. CAAAN is the Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network, a group of nearly 6,900 alumni volunteers who assist the Cornell admissions community in recruiting superior undergraduate applicants.

Locally we have seen a HUGE increase in the # of Cornell applicants – which is really great for both Cornell, and for our local alumni group.

So, we’re having a challenging time keeping up with the large demand of prospective Cornell students that would like to connect with local alumni.

If you’d like to learn more about CAAAN, please let us know – we sure could use your help. It’s really a blast sitting down with prospective students, having a casual conversation with them, and answering any questions they have about Cornell.

And – if you ever wanted to know what it feels like to be treated like Ezra Cornell himself – you’ve gotta make a CAAAN contact! The kids will treat you with an unbelievable amount of reverence and respect…like you founded Cornell yourself!
