Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if you all got the email from Dean Carey (sent by Ginelle John). What do you guys think? Is anyone going?

Let me know if you didn't get the email and I'll post it.

Thanks, Aimee. Thought I would go ahead and post...

Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars Alum,

My name is Ginelle John and I work with Dean Patricia Carey and the
current MLK Program Associates. In our efforts to help bring the MLK
alum together, Dean Carey ask that I send you this email on her
behalf. We hope you can all join the NYU alumni weekend festivities
this year! Please see Dean Carey's message below:


Dear Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars Alum,

It has been such a wonderful surprise to hear from so many of you --
eager to get together and check out your alma mater. You should have
already received an invitation to Alumni Weekend, May 12-14.
http://alumni.nyu.edu/weekend2006/index.html
Wonderful and some very exciting events are planned. And, we want you
to be here.

But let me call your attention especially to the Ultimate Saturday
Night Party -- One Spectacular Evening for Everyone. We can reserve
seating together (10 per table).
http://alumni.nyu.edu/weekend2006/may13.html Only $65 for classes
1995 - 2005 -- give up a couple of lattes from now until then and join
us!

Hope this can work -- so that we can plan more times in the future to
stay connected.

Dean Carey
ps: When making your reservation, in the "guest column" write MLK,
then if you plan to bring guests, you may so list.
pss: Let me know, too, if we can expect you.

While I think it would be great to get together so soon... I personally find the date inconvenient. Its mother day weekend, and for many of those that are out of town it may be tough to make it out... and while 65$ may not seem like much, bring your wife , husband... significant other, and things start getting a little pricey.

I would love to attend.. but personally I will not be able to. I'm wondering if we just try to do something on our own.. and a downscale the thing to make it easier for everyone. maybe shoot for some time in June?

I know I'm poorer than most of you...but $65? Oi vey... sorry Dean Carey. Sallie Mae says it's not in my budget this month. Folks, let's just pick a bar and a date. Something downtown, near our alma matter perhaps? June sounds good, but I say enough dilly-daly I'm down to get together this weekend. Name the time & place and I'm there. S'ok?

I agree with you guys. I won't be going either for all the same reasons. I hate to appear ungrateful to Dean Carey but I had a smaller reunion thing in mind.

I think it would be great to do something smaller in the meantime. I know a couple of people who would like to go but I don't know if they can do something in June (out-of-towners). Maybe we can do it at El Cantinero... you guys remember that place? Those were some good times. I barely remember them. ;)

Oh, El Cantinero. We had such great memories there... =)

Guys I was thinking we should try to get together say August 12th.. I think thats a saturday.. what do you guys think? as for place... we can try el Cantinero... but give me a heads up .. i'm gonna email people.

Jaime

Hey,

Is this still going on? I haven't heard anything in a while... let me know. :)

I hope you're all well!
