Camp Westwind

A Night at the Theatre, Part II

This spring's faculty production is Antigone by Jean Anouilh, directed by Kate Bredeson, assistant professor of theatre. On Thursday, April 8, the Foster-Scholz Club and the Portland alumni chapter will co-sponsor a viewing. It will include dinner, comments by the director, the play, and a discussion afterward. The discussion will feature students in second-year French who are studying the play. The price is not finalized yet, but in the past has been in the $12 to $15 range (and does include dinner). Go to the theatre website to see a description of the play. If you are interested, contact Barbara Smith-Thomas '64 at smiththomas@att.net and she will get you a reservation form. Pre-paid reservations are required for dinner. If you don't want dinner, purchase your own ticket through the theatre website and join us afterward for the post-play discussion.

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.
