Foster-Scholz Club

Members of the Foster-Scholz Club attended Reed 40 or more years ago (currently the classes of 1967 and earlier). Club members and their guests in the Portland-area are invited to attend a variety of events throughout the year. A special welcome and invitation goes out to the class of 1967 joining the Foster-Scholz Club this year.

Listserve

The chapter has set up an email listserve to make it possible to arrange short notice get togethers with fellow Reedies. If you want to invite your fellow Reedies to join you for a concert, movie, drink, dinner or a hike, send an email to the list. However, it is an opt-in list, which means the only people who will see the announcements will be people who've gone to a web page to subscribe. This means you need to subscribe yourself so that you can see what other people want to do. There is an option to get all the messages combined in one message once a day or weekly. Subscribe yourself: 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
