CARLETON COLLEGE: D.C. ALUMNI CLUB

PLANS & PROGRAMS FOR 2008

Welcome! Carleton's D.C. Alumni Club is back on its feet and preparing a year of great activities to bring alums, families and friends together. We have nailed down all the details for our first few events, and we will follow up with specific dates, times and/or locations for the others. We'll stay in touch via postcard and email as well as on our website, http://apps.carleton.edu/alumni/clubs/dc/

We'll be having a regular happy hour on the Third Thursday of every month, plus a range of events for alumni of all ages.

If you are not on the email listserv, please email Jessica or Nicole. It’s a great resource and there are some events we only advertise by email due to timing issues and unforeseen changes.

We are always looking for ideas for possible club events and activities. Contact us—to suggest an idea, volunteer to help, or join the email listserv.
