ND ALUMNI SOCCER TEAM 2013
Dear Irish Alums,The ND Alumni Soccer season is here, and we're looking for new players to join us on the pitch this year. All skill levels are welcome, as we try to play competitively (I mean, we are the "Fighting" Irish), but the most important thing is everyone plays a lot and has a great time kicking the ball around with their fellow alums.
Games are on Sundays from now through June at McKinley Technology High School (T Street NE, Washington, DC). If you are interested, please e-mail Michael Osysko (michael.e.osysko@gmail.com) right away, so he can add you to the roster before the game this upcoming Sunday. We have a good core of returning players, but have had some people move over the past year and are in need of some new players, especially females (we could always use more males too, so don't let that deter you in the least, as like I said, everyone gets plenty of p-time). Hope to see you on the field! GO IRISH!
WHEN: 7:00-8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 18
WHERE: Gordon Biersch Brewery at Tyson's Corner
Lower Level, across from Barnes and Noble
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.
