hearing your ideas and
suggestions (and complaints) which you may share with any Director (you

First
Year Parents'
Night, Burlington Marriott Hotel,
One
Burlington Mall Road,
Burlington, MA
- 6:30-8:30PM
The
DCGB is hosting dinner and a panel
discussion for the parents of the Class of 2014. The Club hopes to
provide parents with an opportunity to ask questions and gather
information that may not have been addressed by the College. Topics
often range from laundry to parking to pizza and anything else of
interest to attendees. The evening also affords an opportunity
for
parents to meet one another just as their new college students have
been meeting one another during freshman trips. The cost is $25 a
person; dinner will be provided, and a cash bar will be available.
Please RSVP by Friday, 4 September 2010; if you
have any questions, please email
Jane
Parkin Kullmann D'01.
We look forward to welcoming you into the Dartmouth family.

Annual Fall Foliage Hike at
Dogtown Commons, Gloucester, MA - 1:30PM
We
are heading to a different corner
of greater Boston for this year's hike. Dogtown is definitely
one
of the more interesting places around here to explore. It is a ghost
town, last inhabited in 1830. Originally called 'The Commons', as the
final residents left or passed away, dogs were left behind to live wild
- hence the current name. Structures have since disappeared: only a few
cellar holes remain. We will walk along some of the original roads,
woods trails, and pass by two reservoirs and glacial moraines. Along
the way we will seek out a few cellar holes and locate several large
boulders carved with inspirational statements which Roger Babson
(founder of Babson College) commissioned during the 1930s. The hike
will be four miles long over mostly level terrain with one small hill.
Please contact
Mark Rosenblum D'81
for more details and updates about the hike.
