MKE Feb Club 2023 on Feb 17!

Feb Club started as a tradition in the late 1970's on the Yale Campus as a way for the students to socialize during the dreary month of February. As you may recall, February in New Haven means mostly grey skies, cold, and drizzle for weeks at a time. To fight back against the winter doldrums, the progenitors of Feb Club planned parties all over campus every night of the month for people to meet up. In the late 2000's, Yale saw this as an opportunity and asked local alumni groups to set up "Feb Club Emeritus" events for alumni during the month of February as simple social mixers without any agenda - just a chance to hang out with other Yale alumni. More information on the background and history of Feb Club and Feb Club Emeritus can be found HERE.

The YAW has hosted Feb Club Emeritus events every year since 2009 (except 2021) and they have always been fun! We get to enjoy hanging out with a great mix of older and younger alumni and graduates from all Yale schools. Several years ago we transitioned away from expensive events in hotels or restaurants and have gone with a more casual cocktail-party approach for our YAW event with great success.

My amazing wife Cristin and I are glad to invite you all over again to our home for this year's event - YAW Feb Club Emeritus 2023 will be Friday, February 17 once again at our home in Wauwatosa, WI - 6509 W Washington Blvd from 7-10pm. It's a simple cocktail party with other Yale alums and their invited guests. No agenda, no fundraising - just a chance to meet up and maybe meet some new Yalies!

Please RSVP if you plan to attend and find more event details HERE.
