Holiday party recap
Alumni, friends, staff, and faculty enjoyed a festive evening at the Alumni Holiday Party, on Saturday, December 8. Did you have your "glamour shot" taken onstage at the alumni holiday party? Thanks to fabulous Leah Nash Photography you may download them online (password: reed)!
Social media
Follow a variety of alumni news on social media, including Facebook, Twitter (the Doyle Owl has been spotted there too!), and Tumblr. Local items can be followed on Facebook under Reed College Alumni: Portland Chapter and Reed College Public Events. Also, check out our blog, The Riffin' Griffin, for announcements and content longer than 140 characters.
Thirsty Third Thursday
Meet other alumni, sample a few brews, and enjoy lively conversation on the third Thursday of every month. Look for the pink table-top sign and the stuffed griffin at a pub/bar/restaurant near you.

Foster-Scholz Club
The Foster–Scholz Club is a subset of the alumni association made up of all Portland-area alumni who graduated from the college 40 or more years ago.
Listserve
The Portland chapter has recently set up an email listserve to arrange get-togethers with fellow Reedies on short notice. If you want to invite Reedies to join you for a concert, movie, drink, dinner or a hike, please send an email to the list. This is an opt-in list, which means the only people who will see the announcements will be people who have subscribed to the web page. There is an option to get the messages combined in one message daily or weekly; please subscribe at https://www.lists.reed.edu/mailman/listinfo/alumni-pdx-network
If you have an idea for an event please contact the chapter. We'd love to hear your ideas.
Steering Committee
To contact the chapter, send email to alumni-pdx-steering@lists.reed.edu or you can look up individual members using the alumni directory in IRIS.
