Happy Friday,

As as spoke about at our annual meeting back in October we encourage all alumni to help out as they can. We want to present the opportunity to get involved in being part of the leadership of the alumni association. This means participating in the decision process for the direction of the organization and helping to exceed the goals for the upcoming months.

We've been working hard all year long to make sure that each of us have a great alumni association which can offer many benefits to it's membership. If you would like to get involved or are just curious about what's going on behind the scenes feel free to get in touch with me.

I've listed the date and location of our next meeting. Hope to see many

10/20/2010 Alumni Meeting Recap:

Fellow Alumnus,

We wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to those that attended this weekends alumni meeting. The event ran extremely well and everyone enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on the Hudson. I wanted to offer a special thank you to the alumni who have sacrificed so much of their time, peace, and sleep to get the ball rolling on the association. A congratulations would be premature as there is still much work that needs to be accomplished but without naming names(you know who you are), from the bottom of my heart.. Thank you!

If you haven't done so already, please feel free to pay your membership dues for 2011. $25 covers membership for the remainder of 2010 & all of 2011. This can be done online by clicking on the following link: http://www.chialumni.com/dues.html
 
While we wish we had the resources to pay for the annual alumni meeting, fact of the matter is that currently the alumni association does not. We need your help in funding events such as these. The hope is that we can
stir up interest and involvement so that in coming years WE WILL have the resources. In an effort to help out the alumni association please feel free to visit www.chialumni.com/donation.html to help pay for your portion of the alumni meeting. Costs range from $25-30 per person but any additional money would be greatly appreciated!

You'll notice on the donations page that we've taken feedback from the meeting and ran with it. We have setup a re-occurring monthly donations option that will give each alumni the opportunity to offer monthly donations of minimal amounts (between $1,3,5,etc.). If you have any questions on how this works please don't hesitate to contact myself or any other member of the alumni association board but from what we understand it's very intuitive.

The alumni association board has continued to meet on a monthly basis for the past 10 months. November will be no different and if your willing to lend a hand then please feel free to attend this meetings.
All meetings are open to all alumni who wish to attend and we encourage each alumni to do so. We are scheduled to meet again on Thursday, November 4th at 8pm. The meeting usually run between 1-2 hours and the location (around Kean) will be announced one week prior by email. If you want to get involved in helping out the alumni association then this is your opportunity. It's the way we've designed the internal structure of
leadership and in addition, it's a great opportunity to have your opinion heard which can lead to a new direction for the organization.

10/14/2010 Alumni Meeting Final Reminder:

Morning Everyone,

Regarding the sidewalk/road collapse on 13th St Hoboken, the damage is pretty bad and the odds WERE looking likely of them shutting the entire area down.

Fortunate for us they have not and we are still on for tomorrow!!!!

Please note that because of the collapse the only entrance to the pier is on 12th street. Look for orange barricades that lead directly to the pier. I've provided a list of all alumni & guests to the sheriff stationed at the entrance. If they have any issues just give me a call on my cell but I’m not expecting any.

Parking is sometimes an issue in Hoboken, luckily there are several convenient options within a block or two. Your best bet will be either the little man parking garage (not a joke) located at 2 12th St # 1, Hoboken, NJ. There are two entrances, one on 12th and another on McFeeley lane which is one block off the water.  A second option is on Maxwell lane, just down the block at the shipyard condominiums. Both are reasonably priced and very good options.

Dress warm, it's expected to be breezy and with our event on the water it will only add to that chill in the air.

Lastly, guests are always welcome! Wives, girlfriends, Mistresses (if you’re a Chilean miner), children, dogs, cats, etc.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Regards,
Bob Howe
