20 plus years since you graduated?  Come back to BC!  The Chapter is looking for volunteers for a new "Come Back to BC" subcommittee.  The subcommittee's goal is to gather ideas for and to plan social events and other activities to bring together 20+-year alumni.  These events will enable participants to share their experiences, to catch up, particularly on the great things that have happened at BC in the years since graduation, and to learn about the resources BC offers its alumni of all classes.  If you have ideas and time to devote the subcommittee, please contact John King (A&S '73; GOM '77, P '11) at 203-216-7402 or @ jsking@optonline.net.

All are welcome to join.
