BETTER OFF BOWLING SUMMER LEAGUE

Looking for some alum sports fun over the summer? Better Off Bowling is a co-ed social bowling league for young professionals that runs on Tuesday evenings during the summer.  They have a bunch of young professionals along with a number of other school alumni groups and usually have ~400 fun social people in the league.  They've contacted us hoping we would be interested in getting a team or two together (does not have to be all alums though).  Registration ends mid June, and the league starts rolling June 25th! As Fighting Irish alums, we get $10 off the regular registration price with the code:  DCALUM0613

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!


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!


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.
