Young Alums – Blue & Gold Game Watch in Pacific Beach!

Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 10AM – Pacific Beach Cantina.

We want to try out a new location in Pacific Beach for potential future events. A lot of our members have been to Pacific Beach Cantina (formerly Longboards) and said it has a great vibe for a sports bar. Besides 52 flat screen TVs, there are solid drink specials and good selection of food. To test it out we’re holding an unofficial gamewatch for the spring practice Blue and Gold game. If there’s a solid turnout we may continue additional young alum gatherings there in the future.

Even though this event is organized for Young Alums, all may join. So come out and enjoy some morning sunshine and ND football. We will have a core group there by 9:30AM.

PB Cantina is located at 1466 Garnet Avenue, two blocks east of Ingraham.

See you there.

Jackie, Greg, & Doug
Young Alum Coordinators”

If you have any questions, please email us at youngalumni@ndsandiego.org or call Jackie at (951) 764-2233
