Syracuse University Networking Colleague:
We have a very special event set for 12/7 to be held at our usual meeting place: Gatsby's in Davie (1805 S. University Dr. Davie, FL 33324). This is not our typical networking meeting, however, it still presents an excellent opportunity for you to meet other members and their guests and we encourage you to bring plenty of business cards.
By now you have seen information sent via email, and in Squeezings (http://www.southfloridasyracuse.com) as well as on our Facebook page with details on the holiday party. We have partnered this year with Broward College to support their efforts to send much needed products/goods to the men and women of Army Airborne 187 in Afghanistan. This link will give you the full list of items that are in short supply and which these men and women have specifically requested from us: http://southfloridasyracuse.com/news/DonationlistSUALUM1207.pdf. Every member attending is asked to bring a donation with them to the holiday party. We will be greeted personally by Coach Starkman of Broward College who is a very dynamic speaker and has promised a tale or two about our own Jim Boeheim.
We will additionally have a guest speaker, a prominent forensic dental expert, Dr. Jerry Gultz, who will provide insight on his experiences at Ground Zero during the tragedy of 9/11. Somber yes, but it promises to be both educational and inspirational and a real highlight of our guest speaker series.
There will be the usual great food and drink specials that are made available to Syracuse Alumni and those that wish to stay later will gather around a private big screen TV to watch the Orange Hoopsters, currently the 9th ranked team in the country, take on highly rated Michigan State Spartans in the Jimmy V classic.
Those of you who haven't been to a networking meeting or any of our general membership events lately, this is one you don't want to miss. Come on out, wear your Orange, and lets have a great evening together. You'll be helping out a very worthy charity partner, you'll re-acquaint with some old friends, and you will make some new friends, and possibly even some business contacts. In distance, we are separated by many miles from "The Hill" but our alumni club is a great way to keep that connection alive, especially since we have such a diverse cross-section of class years and experiences. The first 5 members who RSVP to this event and who haven't been to any event all year long, will receive a complimentary Syracuse University Flash Drive, just see Dean at the event and remind him. I look forward to seeing you on 12/7 at Gatsby's, and hope that you will be part of our largest gathering of alumni members this year.
Go Orange!
Ryan
