Dear Friends,
Greetings from the Hill! Happy New Year! It's time to shake off 2005 and get ready for Alexander Hamilton's Birthday! Alex would be 249 years old (or 251, depending on who you ask) this year and, as has become the tradition, alumni will be throwing parties in his honor. We hope that you will come and raise a glass to old Al Ham!
For 2006, we've expanded on our annual coast-to-coast celebration to include some new cities (scroll down to see the list of parties at the bottom of the message.) Each event includes some uniquely Hamiltonian elements: a chance to socialize and interact with current students, Hamilton trivia and prizes, and, in addition to the good cheer that is evident at all Hamilton gatherings, you'll view a terrific DVD. Featuring heartwarming scenes of our beautiful campus and interviews with students, faculty members, and alumni, this video is sure to take you straight back to your days on the Hill.
Grab some friends and celebrate the birth of our College's namesake with alumni, parents and current students. We look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Dave Steadman '03
Assistant Director of Alumni Relations, Regional Events
Please note: We're still working out details for some cities. Please check back or e-mail Dave dsteadma so we can send you the information.
