Big 10 Championship Football
MSU vs Wisconsin

It’s been quite a season! On Saturday, the Spartans take on the Badgers one more time to take it all. If MSU wins, they are Rose Bowl bound, so come on out and cheer on your Spartans in the “Legends vs. Leaders” showdown. You are not going to want to miss this one! We watched the last MSU vs. Wisconsin game at Green’s Sports Bar (2239 Polk Street, SF), and it was by far the best game watch we’ve had yet! For those taking BART into SF, get off at the Civic Center station. The bar is only 1.5 miles from the station and the number 19 bus goes directly there.

RSVP on our Facebook event page if you’re joining us.

In what is surely the most unique setting for a college basketball game ever, this will be the first men’s college basketball game to be played on the deck of a United States military aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson, honoring the men and women in the armed forces.

This will be a joint event with the UNC Alumni Association in the Bay Area, so let’s make sure we have a solid MSU representation!

We have a private section reserved for just our two clubs, so you’re sure to get a spot to see the game.

Go Green!

My name is Michael Cykowski and I am the Community Outreach Director for your local alumni club. I’d like to tell you about an exciting event that we have planned for December!

Join me and your fellow Bay Area Spartans in Daly City to help with day of service with Habitat for Humanity in Daly City from 8:30am to 4:30 pm on Saturday December 3, 2011.

Project Description

We will be assisting with the construction of a new home for a Bay Area Family. We don’t know exactly what we’ll be doing. But no construction experience is necessary.

Currently only 15 spots are available, so if you are interested please RSVP on our Facebook event page or email service@sfbayspartans.org to let me know.

PLEASE ONLY RSVP IF YOU CAN ABSOLULTELY COMMIT TO THIS EVENT. We don’t want to tell them we have 15 volunteers coming and then not deliver.

Project Site Location and Info

7555 Mission Street, Daly City, CA, 94104

Parking is very limited at the site and we strongly encourage you to take BART, public transit or carpool. If you have to drive, plan to arrive early to look for street parking. The Colma BART station is just a few short blocks from the construction site and easily walk-able.

It’s raining! What do I do?

Construction can continue during rain showers, depending on the stage of construction. Often we will have enough work to do indoors to continue working in inclement weather. If it is raining, please call 415-625-1038 after 7:00 a.m. on the day you are volunteering. If the build day has been cancelled there will be a recording letting you know.

What should I wear?

Wear sturdy, closed toe shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting ruined. Also be aware that much of the work is outdoors, so dress appropriately for the weather, including rain, wind, sun and/or fog. Paint or other materials could spill onto your clothes, so please wear clothing that you don’t mind getting stained or ruined. DO NOT WEAR JEWELRY – it could get damaged or lost.

What should I bring to the construction site?

First of all, bring a lunch and water. Habitat Greater San Francisco will provide the hand tools and power tools you will be using.

You may bring your own hand tools if you like, but be sure to label them with your name. If you have your own work gloves or safety goggles you may want to bring them as well. Also, be sure to bring your own personal comfort items – sunscreen, a hat and layered clothing for weather changes. Please leave your valuables at home! There is no storage space at the site.

Can I come late/leave early?

We ask for a full-day commitment from all our volunteers. When people show up late or leave early it makes it difficult for site supervisors to properly train volunteers or accomplish the construction goals for the day. For safety reasons, we cannot allow anyone to come late; if you miss the safety talk, you will not be able to work on the site that day.

“Speed Reading the Book of Life”

Did you just see the movie Contagion and are now wondering about the plausibility of a global pandemic? The last time you were at the gas pump, did you think there had to be a more efficient way to fuel a car? Did the movie Jurassic Park leave you speculating about genetic engineering?

We are pleased to bring David DeWitt, PhD, one of MSU’s experts on genomics, to the Bay Area to talk about how researchers at MSU are working every day to unravel the mysteries of DNA and how DNA sequencing is transforming biological research.

At MSU, scientists are using this newly available genetic information to increase crop productivity and disease resistance, observe evolution in action, map infectious microbial outbreaks, and design new biofuels.

Join us for an insider’s look at how the revolution in genetic technology is driving some of the country’s most exciting research at MSU in a presentation geared towards all alumni, not just science majors.

To RSVP for this FREE event please call
