Description: The South Bay Young Blues is a chartered club of the California Alumni Association. Its purpose is to provide a framework for young Cal alumni and friends of the University in the southern San Francisco Bay Area to socialize and network. The Club offers a wide range of enjoyable activities, such as TGIFs, camping trips, hikes, barbeques, amusement park excursions, parties, etc. By this, it is hoped that dedication to Cal will be enhanced so that the University will receive stronger support from recent grads in Silicon Valley.
