Fellow Stevens Alumni and Alumnae:
Despite the fact that the economic and business situation is looking better, there is concern about what kind of holiday season we will have. There is one thing you can do to help start off the season right: attend the annual Stevens Alumni Washington, D.C., Holiday Dinner Meeting. You will enjoy sumptuous food and libations at one of the country’s top clubs, and you can schmooze with many of your former schoolmates and meet some new ones. Those of you who have attended in the past know what I am talking about, and for those who have not attended, you are missing a great occasion. While the cost of everything else is going through the ceiling, through the generosity of Stevens we have held steady and at $40 per person. There is no better bargain anywhere.
I like to think that the Stevens Washington, D.C., Club is different from most of the other clubs around the country that are made up, in great part, of retirees. There are almost 900 Stevens alumni living and working in the Washington area, and many are involved in vital and exciting jobs. The networking value of a gathering such as this is unsurpassed. There is no reason why we should not get at least 100 of you to attend. Not only is it a fun night and a great way to kick off the holiday season, but we also get to hear from Stevens President Hal Raveché. Also, you may enjoy seeing the results of a $30 million renovation and addition to the Congressional Club facilities. Both the club house and the golf course have undergone some changes in preparation for the 2011 U.S. Open and the 2012 Tiger Woods championship matches. Here are the details:
