Welcome Smith College Club of Colorado
Welcome to the Smith College Club of Colorado and Wyoming!
It?s hard to believe that we?re already talking about the holidays, but luckily we have a lot to look forward to. Sally Allen ?62 has graciously agreed to host our annual holiday party on December 14. This event is always a favorite, with ample opportunities to meet and mingle with local smithies and enjoy a light brunch. Also in time for the holidays is our annual Enstrom?s Toffee Sale; be sure to send in your order form by December 6 to receive your toffee in time for the holidays. All proceeds from this fundraiser go directly to Smith?s Scholarship Fund to support current students.
Use the links on the left to learn about our upcoming events, contact the club officers, read current and old newsletters, and get involved.
If you have announcements for the website or photos from Smith to share, please email them to smithclubco@gmail.com.
The 2008 annual meeting was held on June 18 and featured Professor Robert Burger speaking about climate change. If you attended and want to learn more, or weren?t able to join us and are interested in the topic, Professor Burger has recommended several resources.
