Hello NorCal Alums,
Sparky’s Wine and Dine in Napa is this Saturday! There are still some seats left so sign up today so we can let Judd’s Hill know how many will be dining. We will be visiting Judd’s Hill Winery, Hagafen and V. Sattui wineries.

Sparky’s Touchdown Tailgate at Stanford is next week down in Palo Alto. It will begin at 4pm prior to the 7:15 kickoff. We have information on how to get game tickets below as well as discount prices for those willing to volunteer for the event.

The Sun Devil football team got a solid win at Wazzu last weekend. The defense was stellar registering 12 sacks. ASU now takes on Washington at home this Sat night at 7pm. in another pivotal Pac-10 game.

There are also many of ASU’s teams visiting NorCal in the next few weeks so please see our calendar below and try and catch the Sun Devils in action and support the maroon and gold!

Go Devils! Beat the Huskies!

Go Devils!
