Rain cancels the event.

Because there is a big basketball game going on at Stanford (Cal vs. Stanford), we will move the event this week to the Palo Alto High School football field.

Review the map to make it easier to find the football field.
The AFC and NFC championships are here. The Super Bowl is looming.
Football is in the air.....
Let's get together for a fun session of touch football, followed by light refreshments or food afterwards -- and networking.
You don't need to be a former varsity player or Heisman Trophy candidate (or powder puff football stand out) to come out and have a good time.
This is strictly for fun, and no previous experience is necessary.
This is touch football, not tackle, so no one should get hurt from participating.
We will also have a session of soccer (the other kind of football) to mix it up a bit.
