Everyone had smiles and the drink prices were great. I loved how the jello shots didn't just taste like jello. They also have karaoke here on Saturdays. This is a great place to create lifetime memories.

The organization may have the same name, but the people who are there are judgmental and unwelcoming (when I saw them in other contexts after I tried to go to an Open House). One of their current members in trying to help another one, admitted to their difficulties on the Chris Kindness Award website: the current member wrote: "Just these past two months we have had serious race related conflict in a nonprofit we are both involved in." My experience with them is in line with a different comment on the Chris Kindness website: An ex-Hackermom: "The non-profit mentioned by another commenter is bleeding members from marginalized groups, and her response to many WOC, disabled, and other brave moms raising concerns can be summed up as "you're not the right kind of mom to belong here" and "don't let the door hit you on the way out." As a direct result, at least a third of all members have left in the last month. Happy to provide screenshots with empirical proof of her supposed "kindness" on request."

We are tech moms, professor moms, stay at home moms, and everything in between, all here to hold space for each other and have a great time doing it. The biggest gift HM has given me is a sense that I have a crew of mamas who've got my back, who care about my dreams, and who accept me and my kiddo as I am. Every mom deserves the gift of a robust and active community like this, which is so rare in the modern hustle and bustle of parenting life.

My husband and I were married here in December 2025, and choosing this venue was one of the best…read moredecisions we made. There were so many reasons we fell in love with it. The historical architecture and elegance immediately stood out to us. From the high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams to the stunning chandeliers and large windows that fill the space with natural light. We loved that the venue offers a beautiful blend of vintage architectural charm in the front and a more modern feel in the back, surrounded by lush greenery. We also took advantage of the golf course at hole 11, where the sunset provided a truly breathtaking backdrop for photos. Another major reason we chose this venue was the exceptional communication and organization. Andrea and Sally were incredibly responsive, always answering our questions promptly and thoroughly. From the planning process to the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. Our guests repeatedly commented on how smooth the entire day felt and how convenient it was to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one place. Many also complimented the delicious food and wonderful staff. We truly could not be happier with our experience at this venue. Highly recommend for anyone who is planning their wedding here. It was an amazing, unforgettable day.

Rachel puts so much thought and care into planning everything- whether it's a hike, yoga, dance party, crafting event, or mocktail tasting, every detail feels intentional and welcoming. What I love most is the variety of activities and the chance to meet new people who are also looking for fun, meaningful ways to connect without alcohol. Every event has been filled with laughter, great conversations, and a genuine sense of community. Rachel is an amazing leader! She creates a safe, inclusive, and creative space where people can really enjoy themselves and make memories together. I'm so grateful this group exists and look forward to joining more events!

Very easy to go in and out, not as strict as large volume places like the Memorial or the pavilion. Sometimes games are paid some are not, bot sure what is determined by this. A basic ticket stand and a stand of some merch and food; give you the basics. There are bathrooms available inside. Enjoy the art-deco architecture. It opened in 1932. and named after a mathematician professor George C. Edwards. One can really sit anywhere as nothing is assigned but on a hot sunny day go for the top or the press seating. It's all wide open. The views are splendid with the campanile, the Big C, and southside; truly a 180-degree view. Food and drinks are permitted and nobody said anything even though the rules were posted. Love coming back as an alumnus to support my alma mater.

When figuring out where I was to stay for a graduate school visit to the University of California,…read moreBerkeley (in March 2015), this was the 2nd pick of the professor who brought me out for interviewing. He had contacted students and post-docs in his group/department to see if they would host me. However, as I was his 6th prospective student the people he asked were tired of hosting so he signed me up to stay here at the Women's Faculty Club, located on-campus. The building was rustic and on a not so busy road. There were grassy area(s) to the west/north that the campus squirrels enjoyed. At one point, the male professor was walking me one-on-one to the building. When we walked over a small stream on a bridge together he made a comment about water flow in the stream. I felt uncomfortable. Then I spotted it. My knights in shining armour. Squirrels. They were foraging in the grass and were on the larger side. I made note out loud of this. The male human said nothing. He did not share my love of the furry cuties. After living in South Africa where we had vervet monkeys instead of squirrels and Hawai'i where we had mongeese instead of squirrels, the squirrels were a reminder of wildlife in my hometown of Seattle. Sometimes wildlife helps make a place special and feel like home. Breakfast in the women's faculty club could be ordered and I dined alone during my stay. As the rest of my meals were with other people, I enjoyed the tranquility of dining here. There was no loud music and during my visit the dining hall did not reach crowded levels while I ate. Check-in was in a convenient location, my room was up the stairs and had window(s) looking out towards the area(s) the squirrels liked. The floor was more towards the creaky side, in a homely kind of way. The bathroom had signage about water usage as California was in a multi-year draught (no rain). The bed was large and comfy. It was cool to be able to sleep diagonally. Workers in the dining hall and when I came and went were friendly.

Our Asian Sister, who gave us excellent service, brought out the tray. No Neapolitan, sold out (very sad trombone). But, what's that? Fresh Cherry Flan w/Almonds! The sweetest pitted cherries on a cheese flan, crowned with toasted Almonds. Simple, but oh so good. My colleague, Karen, devoured the same thing. Our guest enjoyed a dark chocolate tart. Next time, I'm ordering the Neo first!
