Movie Night: Ocean's 13 Wednesday 12/19/2007 at 9:00pm CA Contact: Christina (cmester@stanford.edu) Are you staying here for the break, or leaving late? Come to movie night on Wednesday! We'll show Ocean's 13, and as always, we'll have some popcorn and other snacks. Here is a short summary of the plot: Danny Ocean's team of criminals are back and are composing a plan more personal than ever. When ruthless casino owner Willy Bank double-crosses Reuben Tishkoff, causing a heart attack, Danny Ocean vows that him and his team will do anything to bring Willy Bank and everything he's got down. Even if it includes hiring help from one of their own enemies, Terry Benedict. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. San Jose Sharks take on the Vancouver Canucks! Thursday 01/10/2008 at 7:30pm CA Contact: Adam (agrossma@stanford.edu) Come out on Thursday, January 10th and watch the San Jose Sharks take on their Western Conference rivals - the Vancouver Canucks. We only have limited numbers of tickets to the game, so email Adam (agrossma@stanford.edu) to reserve your spot. When you reply, be sure to indicate whether you can drive and how many others you can take with you. I will have to give priority to drivers if not enough people volunteer. The cost per ticket is $18 for Rains residents, $25 for non-Rains residents (the tickets have a face value of $32). If there is lots of demand from Rains folks, we will have to restrict the number of guests we can take. This game is going to be amazing! Go Canucks! Or, if you prefer, Go Sharks!

Rains Ski Trip Saturday 01/26/2008 at 9:00am CA Contact: Fraser (fraser@stanford.edu) Rains Ski Trip - Late January or early February This years version of the annual Rains ski trip is going to North Lake Tahoe. We are going to subsidize lodging near Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl, Northstar, Homewood, and Tahoe Donner as well as providing dinner on Saturday. We will also organize group rates at one or two ski resorts to lower your costs. Look in Edrops early in the new year for more details on costs and the pre-trip informational meeting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Rains CA Recruitment - Free Dinner Thursday 02/14/2008 at 6:00pm CA Contact: Peter (pkimball@stanford.edu) Ever thought you might want to be a Rains CA? Rains CAs are the people who put on the big social events in Rains, starting with the welcome festivities at the beginning of the year, and carrying on strong with neighborhood and Rains-wide events throughout the year. It only requires a bit of effort. It's fun. It's a great way to meet people. If you want to know more about being a CA, come to our FREE DINNER/INFO SESSION in February. We'll have some delicious catered food options, and a bunch of CAs on hand to answer your questions about the program. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please respond to contacts given, or to owner-rains-events@lists.
