ND ALUMNI SOFTBALL 2013

Lads and Lasses.  The 2013 Capital Alumni Network (CAN) Co-Ed Softball League season is just about to begin.  No seriously, the first game is next Friday, April 19th and our second is April 25th.  Though we have a great core group that has played for several years, we are always looking for new faces who like to play some ball and drink some beverages.  If you have a glove, and/or like drinking beers mid-week, then you qualify!  Boom.  Just like that.  For more information please contact coach Jimmy Mandich '02/'03 MSA at jimmymandich@yahoo.com or Brandon Lenk '06/'07 Arkie (stupid Jimmy with his dual year degrees, I could walk twice too ya know!) at brandonlenk@gmail.com.  Or both of us just to be safe.  Go Irish!


ADMITTED STUDENT/ALUMNI RECEPTION 4/18

WHEN: 
7:00-8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 18
WHERE: Gordon Biersch Brewery at Tyson's Corner

Calling all ND alums– please join us at the Admitted Student Reception on Thursday, April 18 to welcome high school seniors who have been offered admission to Notre Dame. This is an opportunity to mingle with students and their families, share your experiences, answer questions and offer a glimpse into what makes Notre Dame so special. Your insights, knowledge, and passion will be key to the success of this event, so we'd love to have you! The reception will be held at Gordon Biersch Brewery at Tyson's Corner from 7:00-8:30pm (located on the lower level, across from Barnes and Noble). Pizza and beverages will be served.
Please RSVP to Anne Witt '11 at awitt@alumni.nd.edu. We hope to see you there!

ANNUAL WREATH LAYING AT THE TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER 5/26

Sunday, May 26 – 10:15 a.m.
Arlington Cemetery, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
 
The ND Alumni Club of Washington, DC, is scheduled to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers on Sunday, May 26, at 12:15 p.m., in honor of Notre Dame alumni who have personified the words "God, Country, Notre Dame."  Everyone is welcome to join us for the ceremony.  Keep in mind that the Tomb is a 20-minute walk from the Visitor Center, Metro stop, and Parking, so please plan accordingly.  Army protocol calls for four people to accompany our wreath.  Please contact David Diaz '95 at cerritos117@msn.com if you would like to volunteer or to nominate a current or former member of our Armed Services or if you have any questions about the event.  We will meet on the south side of the Amphitheater Building.
