Hello Sloan Partners!

Bring your kids for some fun to Lemos Farm! We're planning a field trip to Lemos Farm. This is a great place for children of all ages. The farm includes a hayride, pony ride, train ride, petting zoo, air jump, snack (cookie and lemonade) a small pumpkin and much more. For more information visit the website below.

Lemos Farm is 30 minutes from Stanford. We're leaving Stanford at 3pm sharp, arriving at Lemos Farm around 3:30pm. The farm closes at 5pm but we'll have time for 1 trip around the farm. Thea Swenson made reservations under "Sloans"

WHEN: Wednesday, Oct. 17, 3:00pm

WHERE: Lemos Farm http://www.lemosfarm.com/

face=verdana,geneva size=2>WHO: Children of all ages and adults.

WHY: Because your kids want to have some fun and spend time away from accounting, modeling and economics that dad and mom bring home.

ADMISSION: $8.50/per child, $2/adults, chaperones are free. (this price is if we have a group of 25, price may be a little bit higher if we have <25)

We chose Wednesday at 3pm because Lemos farm is very crowded on weekends giving the time of year; Wednesday is a flexible day for Sloans and by 3pm most children are out of care/school. So if you are a partner and can't attend, perhaps your Sloan can bring the kids? remember, this is all for the kids to have some fun!! and for adults that still like to go on hayrides and pony rides :)

If you do not have a ride, please let myself Alian Fernandez fnaila@gmail.com or Thea Swenson theaswenson@earthlink.net know and we'll see about an arrangement.

Hope to see all the kids there!

-Partners Social Chairs and President.

They usually set up about 2-3 hours prior to every home game in Toyon Grove which is on Galvez between Arboretum and Nelson Roads across from the stadium, and conveniently located right near the restrooms. If they find the restrooms, they will find us.
10/13 game at 2pm
11/3 game at 3:30 pm

Hi Partners! Hope you all had a good weekend!!

A couple of us are planning to take our kids to the San Francisco zoo on Monday 10/15 leave at 930 am return between 3 or 4. If you are interested in meeting us up or need a ride there, please email me at alyshiachen@gmail.com.

If you've been there, please let us know whether it's easy to get lunch in the zoo or if we should bring our own lunch and picnic there!
=) Thanks!

best,
alyshia

Given the popularity of the Festival, there may be a lot of traffic driving into Half Moon Bay. Please keep that in mind, in case you are trying to make it there at a specific time.

(Thanks to Kikko for the tip!)
