Reedies Eat Pizza: Monday, June 16, 2008 at 6 p.m.*
|
This rite of passage has become the traditional occasion for the larger
community of Reed alumni to celebrate our newest members with food and
drink.
Please join us for the evening of June 16 in a city near you. RSVP to your local host so they know how many to expect, (but don't let failure to RSVP keep you away). Cost is generally around $15-20, (a little more from those who can, a little less from those who can't), but it varies depending on local costs. New alumni eat free.

- Durham—start time 6 p.m.
In the interest of attracting the most people, we've found a place that is approximately equidistant from Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. It's not glamorous, but it serves pizza and American beer, and it has a free group dining area, complete with red-checked vinyl tablecloths.

Sal's is very near the intersection of Hwy 54 and 55, in a mod-looking strip plaza. For some reason it doesn't show up in GoogleMaps—but MapQuest worked fine. It's approximately 12 miles from Durham/Duke, 14 miles from Raleigh and 10 miles from Chapel Hill, and is easily accessed from all of these places by main highways.
