For those who'd like to plan their visits to SLAC so that they overlap with these events, we expect to stick to the 4th Friday of each month whenever possible, +/- 1 week. Check with the organizers first if you plan to travel to SLAC for one of these events and want to know the exact date.

Estimated dates (may change!):

December 18, 2009 (possibly, since 25 is Xmas day)

BBR Social Event on Friday August 28, 2009:

5:00 pm
Organizers: Bill and David

 The next BaBar Friday social will be tomorrow - Friday August 28 th, 2009.

 As an experiment, we will try one event off-site, and plan to hold it in the 
 small park just opposite the lab. Turn left out of the lab, and then quickly
 first right, as you drive up the hill towards the freeway. The park is about
 two hundred yards down the road on the left hand side. Turn in, and park. If 
 you can, use the small parking lot on the left - beside a children's play 
 yard. The tables with shade - and tomorrow looks as though it may be hot - 
 are just beyond this area. There are seats, and a nice overlook of a small 
 pond.

 The usual consumables  -  drinks and snacks  - will be served, and since we are 
 off-site, there will be alcohol.  Good judgment on the consumption of alcoholic 
 beverages in the heat, is advised.      Non-alcoholic beverages will, of course, 
 also be available. Everything on a first-come, first-served basis !

 Hope to see you tomorrow at 5 pm across from SLAC, in the little quiet, park with 
 swans and ducks.
