Listserve
The Southern California 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-so-cal-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-so-cal-steering@lists.reed.edu or you can look up individual members using the alumni directory in IRIS.
