December 2020 NorCal Club Newsletter

 

Scenes from our Dutch Baby cookalong: the ingredients, the group on Zoom, and the finished product from Turner Wiley ‘16!

Dear fellow alums,

Hello and happy holiday season to all! Even if we may not be feeling as festive as in years past, the virtual gatherings over the last month brought plenty of community and connectedness. We loved cooking Dutch Babies using a recipe from Penny Setchko ‘44, discussing work/life balance and professional transitions in the face of COVID-19 at our monthly Virtual M&Cs, and digging deep into meaningful conversation of Girl, Woman, Other at the NorCal Book Club. 

As we look ahead to December, we have a full docket of events planned, with the hope that all of us can enjoy some holiday cheer together during this challenging year. We hope to see many of you at one of our upcoming events. 

Lifetime Members

The NorCal Club would like to acknowledge three more local alums who recently became Lifetime Members: Lisa Ali ‘79, Liz Hirsch, ‘75, and Margaret Wagner ‘81. Thank you for your generous donations, and for your continued support of the NorCal Club! If any other alums would like to become Lifetime Members, we’d love to have you.

We’re also still welcoming any recommendations of alums who have founded, work for, or volunteer at local Northern California organizations doing anti-racist work or fundraising and will include them in upcoming newsletters. Please send any recommendations to the Board at mountholyoke@gmail.com.
