YALE ASSOCIATION OF
Events Upcoming Events The Game, 2009 - November 21, 2009 - 11 a.m. Sons and Daughters (and casual acquaintances) of Eli will gather on Saturday, November 21st, to witness Yale’s certain domination of the hapless, but no less reviled, Crimson of Harvard. Local festivities will be at a familiar location with a new name: "A J Bombers” (formerly “The Corner”), 1247 North Water Street – corner of Knapp – in downtown Milwaukee. Kick-off is 11:00 a.m. central time. As always, there is no charge for admission; food and drinks will be available for purchase. We expect to be joined again this year by at least (or, more aptly, at most) a smattering of Harvard alums. Let’s make sure we have them badly outnumbered again! Second Annual Yale Day of Service - May 16, 2010 Save the date for the second annual Yale Day of Service: May 16, 2010 Last year over 25 alumni and their families volunteered. We hope to draw even more volunteers for 2010. Details will be forthcoming as the day approaches. Recent Events Spizzwinks(?) Concert The YAW hosted a concert by the undergraduate a cappella group, Spizzwinks(?), on the evening of Thursday, January 8th, 2009, at the Milwaukee Athletic Club in downtown Milwaukee. Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Ivy League Night Yalies and other Ivy League grads joined together at the MSO's Ivy League Night on Friday, January 23, 2009. The event included a pre-concert reception and pasta-bar dinner followed by the evening'sconcert. Faculty Speaker Dinner This event, which usually takes place in late April or early May, has included past speakers Charles Hill, Distinguished Fellow of Grand Strategy; Nayan Chanda of Yale's Center for the Study of Globalization; Dean James Bundy of the Drama School; Sociology professor and modern-China expert Deborah Davis; and Astronomy/Physics professor Meg Urry. This is always a popular event, enjoyed by both alumni and newly admitted students who attend as our guests. Please look for further details in February/March. Yale Day of Service The first Yale Day of Service took place on May 16, 2009, with the goal that alumni around the globe will come together to serve their local communities. The YAW was, of course, ahead of the trend with its recent involvement in the Walk Against Diabetes. Summer Picnic With the recent departure from Wisconsin of Lauralee and John Oenick, we are in search of a venue for our annual family-oriented summer picnic (date to be determined), which has been a great success over the years. If you have an idea for a venue or would like to offer your home for this event, please contact Alan or Karen. The Game Sons and Daughters (and casual acquaintances) of Eli gathered on Saturday, November 22nd at Sullivan's in downtown Milwaukee to witness Yale's narrow defeat at the hands of the Crimson of Harvard. |
