First Friday with Fido Dog Walk

Event: Engineers and Dogs Hike Meetup with Optional Dinner

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Santa Clara Valley Section is calling all engineers and their furry friends! Join us for a fun, casual hike where engineers and dog lovers can connect, network, and enjoy the great outdoors together. Don’t have a dog or not an engineer? No problem! Everyone is welcome to join, whether you're an engineer, a dog owner, or someone who loves hiking and meeting new people.

We’ll take a scenic trail that’s dog-friendly and suited for all fitness levels. It’s a perfect opportunity to meet like-minded people, share ideas, have a relaxed day in nature with some adorable canine companions, and check out the birds.

What to bring:
- Comfortable shoes
- Water for yourself and your dog
- Dog waste bags
- A leash (required for all dogs)

Details:
Meet at 3:00 p.m. near the bathroom, located at 2698 Terminal Blvd, Palo Alto, CA 94303. We will start walking at 3:20 p.m. and may divide into groups based on pace.

RSVP to let us know you’re coming. We will also be providing treats for both humans and dogs. Please comment your dog's or your allergies so we ensure everyone has something!
