PARKING:
As you may have heard in the news this week, the university police are taking steps to end the protest in the trees across the street from Haas. One of the results of this action will be limited access to parking this Sunday. At the present time, Piedmont Avenue is closed to traffic going Northbound (in front of Haas). The Kleeberger (right across the street) and the Stadium Rim lots have been closed indefinitely. Please take the time now to look for alternative parking lots. Here are some options for you:

*Boalt Lot (just south of the Haas Building)
*Bowles Lot (next to the Greek Theatre)
*The new Underhill structure on College Ave.

Here’s a link to the Berkeley site with a map: http://www.berkeley.edu/map/

Keep in mind that public transportation is always a good option!

The Haas Evening Weekend MBA Program Office and EWMBA Association invite you
and your family to join us for an end-of-year celebration.

Share the Berkeley MBA experience with your family, by hosting them in school for a day. Welcome them to our classrooms for specials sessions with a couple of our "super-star" lecturers. We'll also have kid-friendly activities (such as jump-houses and face-painting) and family-friendly entertainment managed by our interesting fellow-students.

In the spirit of Berkeley, we'll also have a raffle with proceeds going to American Red Cross for recent disaster victims. Many thanks to our growing list of generous sponsors (led by The Coca Cola Company, E&J Gallo Winery and The Gap Inc.) for making this possible.

So join us for this unique opportunity to share a slice of the Berkeley MBA experience. Lunch will be provided, and drinks served. No alcohol will be served to minors.

We expect about 200-300 friends and families, as well as alumni, to be with us – so RSVP for your space via the Evite: http://www.evite.com/app/publicUrl/YHTOFEOFCOYZGEKAZCIJ/08eoyp
