Welcome to the YCSD
S
ince 1964 the Yale Club of San Diego has committed itself to bring together alumni, students, faculty, parents, and spouses of Yale College as well as the Graduate and Professional Schools. Come share the Boola Boola spirit to socialize, network, educate, and serve our community as members of Yale’s Finest Alumni in America’s Finest City.
I encourage all Yalies in the San Diego area to get involved. The YCSD is always looking for volunteers and ideas to make the Club a more rewarding experience for you. Please contact us at yaleclubofsandiego@gmail.com

YCSD President
Come join the Yale Club of San Diego at Presidio Park in Mission Hills as we host a picnic for Yale’s Class of 2023. Feast on champagne, cold chicken and caviar (well, maybe not all of those things), but definitely partake of the grilled food and company of Yalies old and new. This is also a great opportunity for students and parents to meet each other, talk to alumni, and embrace the Bulldog spirit. Cost is free for students and family, $10 for alumni and their guests. Register here: Please note on the below map that the picnic site is at the very top of the hill past the actual Presidio. Look for Yale themed banners. Come join the Yale Club of San Diego for another community day of service opportunity. This time we partner with Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore in Kearney Mesa. 2019.08.17 Yale Club of San Diego KM ReStore Habitat ReStores are independently owned and operated by local Habitat for Humanity organizations accepting donations and selling home improvement items to the public at a fraction of the retail price. Proceeds are used to help build strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter in local communities and around the world — a good deal for you, your community and the environment. Some of the volunteer jobs include: Please register using the Yale-specific link for the limited number of volunteer spots available. This link helps ensure we have committed volunteers and properly records volunteer hours. The minimum age to volunteer in the ReStore is 14. Minors volunteering as part of a group must be accompanied by a chaperone (1 chaperone per 5 minors). Everyone must wear close toed shoes and comfortable work clothes that they would not mind getting dirty. Tools and safety supplies will be available. Instruction and safety training will be presented by a member of the ReStore staff. The hands and hearts of our volunteers make home ownership dreams within reach for hard working families. We cannot thank you enough for your support of this mission. After his smash-hit Othello and record-breaking Hamlet, Barry Edelstein returns to the Shakespeare Festival to take on the greatest love story of all time. Young love has never been as dangerous or delightful as it is in Shakespeare’s romantic masterpiece, brought to vivid life on our outdoor stage under the stars. Heavily discounted tickets are available HERE, using the discount code OXBRIDGE. Complimentary wine and socializing will commence at 6.45 in the Craig Noel Garden in front of the theater, followed by a Pre-Show Talk at 7.15 and the performance at 8.00pm.
