Edinburgh University Alumni Club of Washington DC

Thanks of coming to the happy hour

General NewsThank you for coming out to the happy hour yesterday at Cap City Brewery. Lots of new faces and a lot of discussion about ideas for events.

The goal of the club is to organize social events and help Alumni and prospective Alumni meet and extend their social and professional networks.

Here is what we are thinking about planning

Happy hour in October
Happy hour after the Scottish Walk in Alexandria on Saturday December 6th
Burns Supper in January, in connection with St Andrews University
Meetup events for the 6 Nations Rugby
Ceilidh sometime in 2009

If you have any ideas on events that you you think others would be interested please log into the website and leave a comment or send them to us at info at eduni-dc.org

I have created a small poll on the website http://www.eduni-dc.org/polls/index.php?pid=20080910113033107 that I would ask everyone to fill out so we can get some ideas of where people would like to have the next happy hour, what events you are interested in attending, and how much you would be willing to pay for those events.

Thanks

Ian Macdonald
President

I would suggest that the happy hour be on Mon., Wed., or Friday, starting at 5:30 PM and going as late as the ones you presently hold. I live in the burbs, so getting back late is a problem. If it started earlier, that would not force anybody to go at that time; it would just allow those of us who so desire to to get there earlier. I live in VA, near Mt. Vernon, and I would not expect that people would come out to an event near my house. I would suggest that you hold happy hours in DC near a metro. That is good for the people in DC and is a good compromise for the people who live in VA or MD. All the best, Stephen
