Lovin’ the Dark Ages
“Dark Ages” (dark a-jez) noun. A period of time at the United States Naval Academy that lasts from the end of Christmas Break until the beginning of Spring Break. The cold weather and short days can create a particularly dreary experience for Midshipmen.
Help the NorCal Parents’ Club bring some light to the Dark Ages!
Every year, the USNA Parents Club of Northern California hosts a “Lovin’ the Dark Ages” event to build care packages for our Mids. It’s a fun time for all involved, and produces scores of care packages filled with snacks, gift cards, and small things to surprise and delight even the most jaded Mid.
All are invited – parents, alumni, friends, and supporters.
When/Where
Saturday, February 22 from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
4362 Jordan Ranch Dr, Dublin, CA 94568
Sandwiches will be provided by the club; please feel free to bring drinks, appetizers, or a dessert to share.
