Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a festive Thanksgiving Holiday. 2008 is certainly a challenging year for all of us, and we all have many things to be thankful for. Good thing is, friends and family will always be there through the good and the bad, and as long as we are optimistic and continue to put our best foot forward, everything will be better.

2009 is just around the corner, and as the last event to wrap up the eventful 2008, the event planning meeting is going to take place on 12/3 Wednesday evening. We’ll fill our happy hour and event calendars for 2009 and we’ll need your suggestions and support. If you cannot come out to the event planning, please let me know if you have any suggestion for the events you would like to participate, or put your name down for a host for any month of 2009’s Happy Hour.

What is in store for 2009? For starters, we are in talk of having joint happy hours with UCLA, UCSD, UPenn, UIUC (University of Illinois Urbana Champagne), and speaker series with the Alumni House. So don’t be shy and come out to see your friends and catch up here at SBYB.

In the spirit of upcoming Beijing Olympic game, Ni Hao (hello) everyone! I hope you’re all having a blast in the summer and I’m sure you all missed my emails for the past month, ha ha. I have a couple of announcements besides the event info, so be sure you read the entire email!

This is a very overdue email about this Friday’s happy hour, which Alice has gladly taken over as the host. We’ll all be glad to welcome Alice and Geoff back to our events/happy hours as they wrapped up the seemingly endless vacations/ family gatherings.
Summer is not complete until you get to go to a beach, and that’s what we’re striving to accomplish here at SBYB! We’re going to Santa Cruz Boardwalk for a fun day stroll around the beach/ beach volleyball/ anything goes.

Annoucement: February Happy Hour

2008-06-14T16:29:00.000-07:00

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
