July 2006


Hi Alumni!

How are you? I'm doing great! I'm still relaxing and working, and the weather here at home is very humid and hot, hot, hot! (I guess that California weather followed me to Pennsylvania). Anyhow, I have a couple of updates for you.



What the Committee is Doing

We're finished up with CalSO's, and now, we're anticipating Welcome Week, Aug 21-25. Here's what's in store for the committee during that time:

  • Spirit Presentation
  • Old Member Potluck
  • Calapalooza
  • Fiesta Football
  • info meeting
  • Caltopia
  • Capture the Axe/Ice Cream Social
  • Fan Appreciation Day
  • Cannon Clearing
  • Big C Hike



Business

Website

I'm still looking for pictures to post on the Alumni section of the UCRC website. Don't be shy or think that I wouldn't want your pictures of they are from a little ways back --- the more pictures we have, the better! Plus, it would be really nice to have a variety of pictures for everyone.

Hua and I are open to any suggestions with the website so feel free to share any ideas if you have them.


Alumni at Meetings:

As school is about to begin, I'd love to have alumni come in and speak at our meetings. It would be great especially for our newest members to see alumni active in the committee right from the start. Alums, you can make a difference in the committee by letting new and continuing members hear about past exciting memories. Meetings are Wednesday at 7:00.

That's about it for the moment. In the next letter, I will have a schedule of upcoming fall events for you. Also, the paper mailed newsletter will be mailed in a few weeks, so keep your eyes open for that mail! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
