Date: Saturday, December 12
Time: 3:00 – 6:00 PM; White Elephant gift exchange at 5:00 PM
Location: Home of Becky Ray, ’00, and David in the Brookland neighborhood of DC near the Red Line (Brookland-Catholic University). Address will be posted on the E-vite invitation.
What to bring: A dish to share (suggestion: something from your family tradition or a personal favorite). A "gift" if you wish to participate in the White Elephant gift exchange (for a definition, visit: www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-white-elephant-gift-exchange.htm ).

Please Note: You will receive a separate E-vite invitation for the Holiday Party. You can use the E-vite to RSVP (Yes, No, or Maybe), leave a comment, and check the current replies of other alumni to see what dishes they intend to bring (you can return to E-Vite through the link you will receive in your e-mail to update your response at any time). Suggested uses of the comments field include:


• Announcing the dish you intend to bring (once you decide)
• Indicating you need a ride (and point of origin)
• Offering to give someone a ride (and point of origin)

  We can help facilitate carpooling amongst the appropriate alumni once they identify themselves. Questions about the event? E-mail us at dcalumni@guilford.edu or contact James Tatum at (Work) 202-533-2562 or (Cell) 703-999-3842. We hope to see you there!

  

  Help Us Deliver an Exciting Event Lineup in 2010 by Hosting an Event

  The DC Regional Alumni Council is working to bring you an exciting event lineup in 2010. Over the next few months we will highlight our plans and identify ways that members of our community can help bring these events to life.

  One frequent challenge we face is finding suitable locations for our events. While some events can be held at public locations, others work best in a more private or personal seting. If you have a home or office you may be interested in opening up to an alumni event, contact us at dcalumni@guilford.edu . We are happy to discuss your interests and help identify an event suitable for your location, be it a picnic/BBQ, game night, career networking event, discussion group, or something completely different (perhaps an idea all your own?). If you decide to host, we can match you up with an event planner or offer full logistical support and backup should you opt to plan the event yourself. Contacting us puts you under no obligation, so why not open the dialogue and explore the possibilities today?

  

  
  
  
  

  

  
  

  Help plan an event!

  It's easy. If you are interested, contact the DC Regional Council. All you have to do is pick an activity and a place and show up: we'll handle the communications and publicize the event! Also, we are always looking for alumni with connections to arrange special tours, gain special access to events for Guilford alumni, or host events at their homes. Some examples of past events include:

  Performance by the Capitol Steps Tour of the Botanic Gardens, led by Joe Keiger '50 Tour of the Old Executive Office Building Volunteer cleanup day on the Anacostia River Guilford football game at Catholic U. Bowling nights Sporting events: DC United, Nationals, and Orioles Hikes Trail maintenance at Fraser Preserve, led by Joe Keiger '50 Annual Shakespeare in the Park, organized by Jayne Mardock '85 Concerts Career networking events Trivia night
