Feb Club Returns in 2023 on Feb 17!
We've hosted Feb Club events at our home in Wauwatosa for the last several years and it's always a fun evening. 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. The YAW has hosted an event nearly every year since 2009 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.
My wife Cristin and I are glad to invite you all over for this year's event -YAW Feb Club Emeritus 2023 will be Friday, February 17once again at our home in Wauwatosa, WI - from 7-10pm.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend and find more event detailsHERE.
Interview Season is upon us...
...And we are always looking for more friendly and motivated volunteers to assist with doing local alumni interviews for our Wisconsin Alumni Schools committee! Early action interviews are now basically completed but we'll have a large group of regular admission applications coming through soon. These interviews are really enjoyable, and a great way to meet some of the best and brightest young students in our community.
If you are interested in helping out with interviews this year, or learning more about the process, simply reply back to this email and let me know where you live. I'll put you in touch with the proper people to get the ball rolling!
Yale Day of Service 2023
We are already in planning stages for this years Yale Day of Service activities, slated to occur on the first Saturday in May, 5/6/23. This year we are hoping to have activities planned for Yale Alumni in both Milwaukee and Madison. More details to come on what those will be! And if you're interested in potentially organizing a service activity for alumni in your area, please let me know!
