The History of Beer (and '94, '95, & '96 Mini Reunion) 02/29/12 : DAASV members, along with the '94, '95, and '96 classes, reconnected over two shared passions: education and beer (not necessarily in that order)!  Alumni joined us for an informative and—more importantly—interactive history of beer. Tastemaster Ira Bletz lead us on an entertaining journey where we discovered new flavors and experienced a few familiar ones in a new light, learned about the different types of beer, and how they were made along the way. There was an assortment of imports as well as domestic brews—something for every palate.

Origami Class: Learn the Traditional Japanese Art of Paper Folding 02/19/12 : Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century at the latest and was popularized outside Japan in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques.  The number of basic origami folds is small, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. Traditional Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the Edo era (1603–1867), has often been less strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper or using non-square shapes to start with.  The principles of origami are also being used in stents, packaging, and other engineering structures. Photographs (C) Justin Tzou 2012

DAASV Overnight Adventure on Alcatraz Island 02/10/12 : Dartmouth alumni become members of a small, unofficial club — people who voluntarily spent the night inside a cell on Alcatraz Island.  Yes, the DAASV won the 2012 National Park Service lottery to spend the night at Alcatraz.  We had the entire island to ourselves!  After ferrying over, alumni performed a 1 to 2 hour work project involving cell block maintenance.  After the work project, our Dartmouth group was given the complete historical background by watching a screen presentation of commentaries featuring people who had experienced life on the island.  Long after tourists departed, we were given a given a lengthy tour of the former penitentiary.  We hiked around the island and saw areas closed-off to the general public including the gunrooms, isolation dungeons for solitary confinement, secret tunnels, and passageways. Dartmouth alumni then gathered for dinner in the mess hall, which had doors mounted with tear gas canisters, followed by s’mores over the fire.  At the end of the evening, our group slept in our own 9 by 5 foot cells in Alcatraz’s D Block (aka the isolation unit) with sheet steel floors.

Valentines “Bee” Mine: Rooftop Beekeeping & Honey Demo at The Fairmont San Francisco 02/11/12 : The DAASV arranged for the perfect Valentines activity, one that was romantic, good for the environment, totally unique, *and* educational. This was a behind-the-scenes look at the epicurean garden on The Fairmont San Francisco's famed rooftop — home to four recently installed honey beehives, each housing 50,000 bees!  While donning professional beekeeping suits, Dartmouth alumni and their guests heard from Helene and Spencer Marshall (owners of Marshall's Farm Natural Honey, and keepers of The Fairmont’s bee hives) and Executive Chef jW Foster, who brought the bees to the hotel.  While using freshly harvested honey from the garden, alumni also enjoyed cooking demonstrations by Chef Foster and Executive Pastry Chef Stephen Sullivan.  On the menu were a pickled vegetable bruschetta, a dessert, two honey cocktail options, and a non-alcoholic sparkling honey lemonade.  Photos (C) Justin Tzou 2012

Get In Touch With Your Inner Cupid:  Introductory Archery Lessons 02/06/12 : DAASV members got in touch with thier inner Cupid, and just in time for Valentines Day.  Be it a romantic date night, or simply a way to meet other adventurous alumni, the DAASV arranged for archery lessons at the only dedicated indoor archery range in the Silicon Valley. (Seriously, who knew?!?)  Our private session was perfect for those who have never shot a bow, or those with some previous experience that simply seek a refresher session. Essentials were covered prior to shooting, including correctly sizing equipment to the archer (bow, arrows, safety gear, etc.), determining eye dominance (eye dominance, controls, and aiming) and best type of bow used.  Also covered were range rules, safety rules, and fundamentals of archery.

Santa Claus Needs A Helping (Dartmouth) Hand 12/01/11 : Sending letters to Santa have been a Christmas tradition for more than 100 years. Each year, children flood the postal service with their wish lists for Santa, some sending priority mail straight to the North Pole. It's a daunting job, and Santa can use some help. This year, as in years past, he’ll get it thanks to some Dartmouth elves in the Silicon Valley.  This is a call for volunteers to help Santa answer some of the kids' letters and hopefully provide a gift. Making a child's holiday special is what the program is all about.   The Dartmouth community met at the Menlo Grill in the Stanford Park Hotel for some holiday cheer, hors d’oeuvres, and then picked up a letter or two with the intent of lending Santa a helping hand.
