TIME: 2PM-4PM

LOCATION: Home of Joy Silver '96

316 Costello Drive, Los Altos, CA 94042

New! MEMBER BENEFIT :: COLUMBIA EMPLOYEE STORE ACCESS!

As a club we are always on the lookout for more benefits that we can offer our members, beyond being proactively invited to every group event and the good feeling that comes from supporting the club and the endowment fund that we add to every year.

To this end, we're excited to let you know that as a dues-paying member of the Smith College Club of the Peninsula, you get invitation-only access to the Columbia Employee Store, located in Union City and in Richmond, CA. Shopping at the employee store allows us to get employee pricing on first-run items from Columbia, Prana, Mountain Gear, and Sorel.

• Our access to the store is only available until August 4. 
• All current members have received an invitation and a Smith College Club of the Peninsula Membership Card. You MUST present the invitation, your SCCP membership card, and a photo ID to get access to the store.

Are you not a member, but want to get in on this deal? It's not too late! Become a member today! We will send you an email with the private invitation and your membership card ASAP.

AUGUST BOOK CLUB
