Annoucement: April Event Newsletter

Hi Everyone,



You all know it’s April showers and May flowers, seeing there is not much outdoor activities for this month, let’s maximize the utility for some happy hour gathering and community outreach for CAL.



First up: For the love of good beer and appetizers, our first time host Mangesh (yay!!!) will host the happy hour at the Cupertino BJ’s this coming Friday evening. The reservation is made, be sure to car pool or arrive early as the parking tends to be a bit tricky at BJ’s. Secondly, yours truly will be hosting a scholarship interview event for our very lovely alma mater Cal. You all know I am very involved in The Achievement Award Program and Leadership Award because the education issue is very dear to my heart, and I would love to have you guys come out and meet the bright incoming student candidates. (and talk about your glory days at Cal!)



Last but not least, I have good news! I have just get an agreement for a joint happy hour with University of Washington Alumni Group (U-DUBB!) and it will happen either July or August.

Annoucement: February Happy Hour

Dear Friends,

Time really flies by fast. It seems like New Year was just yesterday, and we’ve already had the big Super Bowl upset victory of the Giants, the Chinese Lunar New Year, and yet another Fed Rate Cut along with the bumpy ride of stock market.

The good ol’ times no more? No worries, SBYB is here to rescue, to remind you all the fun there is when friends gather.

This month, we have a new member David Liu hosting his first happy hour. David is an EECS undergraduate class of 2007 (nube!), and just joined us with a group of friends in December. Thanks guys, Welcome to the SBYB family.

Also, I have the calendar line up for our events this year. I think you will be very pleased on the variety of the events there are. From community outreach, sports, to cultures (and did I mention happy hour?), there is something for everyone. There are still few Happy Hour slots open for sign up, please let me know which month you are interested or you would like to switch to another month.

Final note, in effort to connect with alumni from other school in the Bay Area, please let me know if you know an alumni group member/officer, I will be gladly to coordinate a joint happy hour. Finally, feel free to bring an extra friend/family member to any of our event!

Description: Happy Hour
Date & Time: Feb 15th 7:30pm
Location: Britannia Arms Cupertino, 1087 S De Anza Blvd, San Jose, CA

See you at the Happy Hour next week
