Welcome to Northern California

Dear Bay Area Hoyas:

Another Fall is upon us. My name is Oleg Nodelman, and I am President of the Georgetown Club of Northern California. As a Hoya in the Bay Area, you are in good company. There are over 4,000 Hoyas that reside in central and northern California, and our club has over 1,000 active members. 2004 was an excellent year for the club, with events ranging from School of Foreign Service Dean Robert Galluci addressing the club on North Korean Nuclear Policy, to a career networking event that connected over 100 people and a “social drinking” cruise on the Bay. Fr. Murphy called on the Bay Area with his annual visit, last year speaking about the Holy Grail, and Hoyas helped the Holy Family Day Home, San Francisco’s oldest early education center. The club was even graced by 3 time Noble Prize nominee Bishop Samuel Ruiz speaking about the plight of the indigenous people of Chiapas.

2005 has already started off with a bang, and many more events are planned so check back regularly.

The Georgetown Club cannot continue without your help. If you are interested in being involved in any capacity, from hosting or planning events to serving on the executive committee, please email sfhoyas@gmail.com or call Oleg t 415-288-2129. The club also needs your annual membership dues to continue. Events are planned on a break-even basis, Members always receive discounts on admission, and several events are put on for free every year as a gift to local Hoyas. In 2004, active members would have saved over $100 on club events.

The club is proud to be able to bring a small piece of the Hilltop to the Bay Area. Thank you for your continued support.

HOYA SAXA!

Fr. Ron Murphy is back again for another Faculty Ambassador engagement. This time Fr. Murphy takes us on an odyssey through literature using a special lens he has developed over years of teaching literature at Georgetown. This lecture is sure to have wide appeal and you will never read fiction or look at popular mythology in the same way again. You will be moved by a sense of personal journey to, and
through, literature. Fr. Murphy will also discuss nature of
realization in his attempt to give a personal answer to an intriguing and mysterious question: "When did Jesus realize his Divinity?" This is Georgetown teaching at its best – stellar scholarship combined with warm humanism.
In the past Fr. Murphy has spoken about the Brothers Grimm, the Holy Grail and the role of the Christ as Warlord in medieval Saxon Literature. Murphy will illuminate the common thread that makes these stories so appealing to us to this very day.
