as it applies to the work place. How does your non-verbal
communication vary with each gender? How have your work experiences
influenced your attitudes about what a male or female employee

childhood? These topics and more are discussed in depth. |
| Fall Retreat - September 24, 2005 We kick off the school
year with a fun and relaxing retreat in the wine country. This
opportunity to get acquainted with fellow members over wine and
a tour of the Napa Valley is always a big hit!
The event price includes a light bagel breakfast and Haas and transportation
to Napa and back. We'll be stopping at Copia, St. Supery, Markham, and
Cuvaison. Box lunch, cheese tastings, snacks on the bus, and a catered
dinner are also included. Wine will be flowing freely throughout the event.
The cost of the retreat is $110. You can sign up on-line - note that we
do charge a small amount to cover on-line processing costs. If you become a member of WIL when you
sign up for the retreat, you get one year's membership (a $20 value) free.

| Women and Wine Our monthly gatherings provide
an opportunity to relax and unwind over great wine, appetizers, and
conversation in the intimate setting of a classmate’s home. Additionally, be
on the lookout for our latest excuse to gather and drink as we host “Babes
and Beer” night in San Francisco on St. Patrick’s Day!

| Community Service As active members of both
the Haas and the surrounding Bay Area communities, WIL members join to volunteer
services once each semester at a local not-for-profit organization focused on women’s issues. |
