Local Chapters – Chicago
News
The Chicago chapter has recently set up an email listserve to make it possible to arrange short notice get togethers with fellow Reedies. If you want to invite your fellow Reedies to join you for a concert, movie, drink, dinner or a hike, send an email to the list. However, it is an opt-in list, which means the only people who will see the announcements will be people who've gone to a web page to subscribe. This means you need to subscribe yourself so that you can see what other people want to do. There is an option to get all the messages combined in one message once a day or weekly. Subscribe yourself: https://www.lists.reed.edu/mailman/listinfo/alumni-chicago-network

Bring your family (especially the kids), friends, a picnic dinner, and look for us on the east side of the lawn with a "Reed" sign. We hope to see you there!
