Thirsty Third Thursday
Share conversation and comestibles with fellow Reedies on Thirsty Third Thursday. Look for the pink table-top sign and the stuffed griffin at a pub/bar/restaurant near you.
If you want to see where other Thirsty Third Thursday events are happening, check here.
Reading group
The reading group meetings start at 7:30 p.m. New participants are welcome. Please try to email or call the hosts at least two days before the meeting to let them know you expect to attend and to confirm the location (locations sometimes change).
Please see our upcoming calendar (through January 2013) and review past readings.
Questions about the reading group, or suggestions for future readings, may be addressed to Peter Greenfield '67 at petergreenfield@msn.com.
Listserve
The Rainier 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-rainier-network
If you have an idea for an event please contact the Rainier chapter. We'd love to hear your ideas.
