Holiday party

More rapid than owls, his coursers they came.
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name;
Now Diver! Now Doyle! Now Chittick and Ladd!
On Foster! On Scholz! On Quincy in plaid!
So up to the Holiday Party they flew for dinner with friends and dancing too.

(with apologies to Clement Clarke Moore)

Alumni, faculty, staff, parents, and friends reveled at the annual Reed Alumni Holiday Party on Saturday, December 17, 2011.

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.
