ND-YA HOLIDAY HAPPY HOUR (12/16)

Come attend a holiday happy hour to sponsor a local organization, SOME, and mingle with fellow young alums. Join us at the Dublin Room at Irish Public Whiskey on Monday, December 16th from 6 - 8 PM. There will be $4 select beer and wine specials.

At the happy hour, we will be collecting donations to support SOME, an interfaith organization that has helped poor and homeless families and individuals in the District for more than 40 years. Some began as a soup kitchen serving food to a handful of people. Today, it serves 1,000 meals per day in their dining room and also offers transitional programs. To learn more, check out this video.

For more information, visit our Facebook event. We hope to see you there!

MENTORING PROGRAM

A Notre Dame alum, Bryant Welters '10, has a need for mentors at his organization, The An-Bryce Foundation. It is a private non-profit organization dedicated to serving youth and young adults from under-served communities through academic, artistic and environmental education. The foundation is starting a mentor program that is hoping to kick-off at the beginning of next year.

They are looking for young professionals in the DC area who would be excited and interested in becoming mentors for youth, meaning anybody who has a college degree would be a great candidate. (Note that this is different than the ND-WIN Mentoring Program, which matches seasoned professionals with recent graduates)

Please contact Bryant Welters or Elizabeth Shirley to participate in this great program!
