4. Oski's Trivia Corner
Dear New England Golden Bears,
A very happy holiday season to us all! CACNE has been wrapping up the year in style, with the Pac-10 Boston Toys for Tots Social and our first monthly Potluck Dinner Board Meeting held outside Boston, where we began planning an amazing 2008 for our New England Cal family and community.
This will likely be the last regular posting until the new year. But don't worry, Tiny Tim, we can have one last taste ...

4. Oski's Trivia Corner
The answer to last week's question, "Cape Cod can be a dangerous place to swim, but sometimes help can unexpectedly arrive if you're in trouble. Name both the aquatic actress who once saved a drowning boy there, as well as the recent Berkeley honoree whose work she shares in a later film." is: Daryl Hannah from Splash, who apparently loves to work with Berkeley professors ... for the second part of the answer we accepted either David Gilbert and Gerald Tuskan, who recently did an award-winning documentary with her about "freedom fuels", or Robert Hass, 2007 National Book Award winner, who shared the screen with Ms. Hannah in Wildflowers. Working with Daryl Hannah ... yet another reason to stay in school and get that PhD, kids.
Cheers for the right answer to Ying Huang!
No Trivia Corner this week ... even Oski needs his rest. The December winner will be announced in the first CACNE email of the new year.
Take care and GO BEARS!

Dear New England Golden Bears,
A very happy holiday season to us all! CACNE has been wrapping up the year in style, with the Pac-10 Boston Toys for Tots Social and our first monthly Potluck Dinner Board Meeting held outside Boston, where we began planning an amazing 2008 for our New England Cal family and community.
This will likely be the last regular posting until the new year. But don't worry, Tiny Tim, we can have one last taste ...
1. Celtics Game with Leon "The Show" Powe
The Boston Celtics
are back this year, with Kevin Garnett and former Cal star Leon "The
Show" Powe helping to lead the charge! CACNE will be taking a trip to
cheer for The Show and see the boys in green (which is really just blue
and gold together, isn't it?) take on the LA Clippers.
Last year CACNE caught the Celtics vs the Miami Heat and went nuts as Powe played 32 minutes, shut down Shaq, and notched his first career double-double. We even got to meet Leon after the game!
When: Wednesday, February 6, 7:30pm. Yes, that's a few months away, but we need to book now. Plus, our ticket allotment is selling fast!
Where: TD Banknorth Garden
Cost: $35 ($30 for paid members)
Due to a limited number of tickets left for this already almost sold out season, and CACNE needing to pay up front for the block of seats, we're taking RSVPs at www.calnewengland.org/celtics.html. The first 30 paid RSVPs get the seats, and we've already OVER 20 of them!

2. CACNE Online
