BSLUG Outing to New Wing at the Gardner Museum Sun. April 22, 11 a.m.

Lunch Post-Gardner Museum Visit

Join your fellow BSLUGS as we check out the much acclaimed Renzo Piano-designed wing at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. We'll have plenty of time to also visit the gorgeous courtyard gardens and world-renown surrounding galleries.  Afterwards at 1 p.m., we'll have lunch nearby at the Squealing Pig.

The 70,000 square foot new wing "incorporates ample glazed surfaces, bringing plenty of natural light to the open, interior gallery spaces, as well as allowing for uninterrupted views to the historic building and surrounding gardens." (see Euginie Kwan, 1/17/12)

If you've been waiting for the right time to see what all the hoopla has been about, this is it!

BSLUGS Raise $1460 for Smith Renaissance Society!

Just an update on the BSLUG Holiday Fundraiser for the Smith Renaissance Society. We raised $1460 which will be matched by Smith Society founder and Pioneer Class Slug, Bill Dickenson.

What an impressive amount of money for the 99% to raise in these times. Thanks to each and everyone of you for reaching deep into your pockets to give!

The holiday party hosted by Steve and Alla Vincent was a wonderful success. A perfect mix of old-timers and younger folk, it was a relaxing chance to catch up with each others lives. The plentiful dinner of burritos, guac and salad from Herrera's was delicious; the Dancing Deer cookies and eggnog hit the sweet spot.

Thank you, Steve and Alla, for opening your home to us and making us all feel welcome. The BSLUG Board wishes you all a very Happy New Year and hopes 2012 brings much prosperity to UC Santa Cruz!
