Join us as we squeeze the last drops out of summer with everyone's favorite Dartmouth pastime – Pong.

For those not competing there will be plenty of drinking and heckling on the sidelines.

September
September 11 - 9:30 am 'til 12:30 pm
Private Intro Fly Fishing Lessons for Alumni
Location: Golden Gate Angling & Casting Lodge, 1270 John F Kennedy Drive, San Francisco
Cost: Free for DAASV/DCGSF Members, $20 for non-members
"In my family, there was no clear division between religion and fly fishing." — Norman Maclean
Fly Fishing is a highly skilled method of casting line, rather than a lure or bait. Other casting methods rely on a lure's weight to pull the line from the reel during the forward motion of a cast. By design, a fly is too light to be cast, and thus simply follows the unfurling of a properly cast fly line, which is heavier and tapered and therefore more castable than lines used in other types of fishing.
Whether you're intrigued by the physics of fly casting (described by the transfer of impulse) or the romance of the experience (recalling A River Runs Through It by Dartmouth's own Norman Maclean '24), the DAASV has arranged for our membership to participate in a unique outdoor experience, in a picturesque setting, right in our own backyard.
Join fellow alumni and friends at what promises to be a wonderful morning, as instructors give us the benefit of their expertise. All needed equipment will be provided. Those wanting to watch, take pictures, picnic, or cheer on friends or loved ones are more than welcome.
RSVP REQUIRED: To aid in the planning of this event, please RSVP by September 3rd to James von Rittmann '95 at president@daasv.org, and include the first and last name, and Dartmouth class (if applicable), of each attendee. RSVPs after September 3rd are welcome, but must pay a $10 Administration Fee.
September 15 - 6:00 pm 'til 8:30 pm
What Does Your Online Profile Really Say About You
Location: LinkedIn HQ, 2027 Stierlin Ct., Mountain View, CA
Cost: Free for DAASV Members, $30 for non-members (Cash bar will be available.)
Be it dating, social networking, or hunting for the ideal job, we invest a great deal of time and energy creating the best online presence possible. However, what do our online profiles really say about us? Are there taboos about which we are unaware; or "must have" information that sows seeds of doubt when missing? What are the differences between a good profile and one that's truly stellar? Join us at LinkedIn Headquarters in Mountain View for an informative panel discussion of corporate recruiters, headhunters, and HR professionals as they reveal what they "see" in professional online profiles. Afterward, the LinkedIn team will then work with audience members to assess their individual profiles and offer advice.
RSVP REQUIRED: To aid in the planning of this event, please RSVP by September 10th to James von Rittmann '95 at president@daasv.org. Please include the first and last name, and Dartmouth class (if applicable), of each attendee. RSVPs received after September 10th are welcome, but must pay a $10 Administration Fee. So, please register early!

The Amazing Race - Dartmouth Style!
Location: Huddart Park, 1100 Kings Mountain Road, Woodside, CA
Cost: $10 for DAASV/DCGSF Members, $30 for non-members.
Orienteering is a fun, accessible sport enjoyed by both professional athletes and entire families alike. Not familiar with the sport? Imagine a timed race in which participants start at staggered intervals, are individually timed, and are expected to perform all navigation on their own, or in teams. The control points are shown on the orienteering map and must be visited in the specified order. Standings are determined first by successful completion of the course, then by shortest time on course. Join up with a team of friends or set off on your own, the first one to the finish is the winner!
Rex Winterbotoom - orienteering expert and founder of terraloco.com - will guide Dartmouth alumni and their families through a beginner/intermediate level course which promises to be both fun and adventurous! Huddart Park is a scenic, shaded park and the perfect location to enjoy a picnic at the end of the course.
What to bring: sunglasses, water, appropriate footwear, a camera, and a picnic lunch. Bring your own compass if you've got one.
RSVP REQUIRED: To aid in the planning of this event, please RSVP by September 12th to James von Rittmann '95 at president@daasv.org.
