Teddy Keizer is leading a Brown Club hike next Sunday, August 17th, to the beautiful Punchbowl Falls in the Columbia Gorge. 
We will be meeting at 10:00 am at Teddy & Ann’s house at 1615 SE 30th Avenue, one block south of 30th & Hawthorne. From their house, we will be carpooling or caravanning to the hike.
If you miss the departure time, give Teddy a call at 503-621-8372 (c) to coordinate connecting with the group.
We chose this hike because it is family friendly. It is only 2.1 miles to the falls for a round trip of 4.2 miles with only a moderate amount of elevation gain. However, the trail continues on if you want a more rigorous outing. We will be eating lunch at the base of the falls in a beautiful steep walled gorge.
No need to RSVP.
Hope you can join us.

Are organized activities, overscheduling and excessive amounts of homework crowding out free time and constricting children’s imaginations and social skills? Howard P. Chudacoff’s new book, “Children at Play: An American History” (New York University Press), explores the tension between how children spend their free time and how adults want them to spend it.
Join us for an exciting evening with Brown professor Howard Chudacoff, a member of the Brown history faculty since 1970, as he shares the fascinating history of playgrounds, the advent of commercial toys and toy advertising, and the evolution of our cultural intolerance for the risks and freedoms of children at play.
George L. Littlefield Professor of American History and Professor of Urban Studies, Professor Chudacoff is known for being an engaging speaker, and is a favorite of many students past and present. Read a New York Times review of his recently published book, Children at Play: An American History
What: An evening with Brown Professor Chudacoff
When: Thursday, March 27, 2008
Time: Reception with light snacks from 5:30 p.m. – 6:15 p.m.
