From Tim Harkness ’87 (follow on Twitter @febclub):
Feb Club Emeritus 2012
The Worldwide Phenomenon Turns Five!
Four score and five years ago (actually just five years ago, but who’s counting), an intrepid group of Yale alums, bemoaning the dismal February weather in their corner of the globe, resurrected an undergraduate tradition of dubious origin and initiated a group of casual get-togethers in various cities each night of the year’s coldest month.
Three years later, thousands of alums in over 100 cities around the planet celebrated Feb Club Emeritus. Feb Club is nothing more than an excuse for alums of all ages to get together and meet old friends and make new ones in a casual, pressure-free setting—with no speeches, no fundraising, no anything remotely official.
A Feb Club Emeritus party may be large or small, stand-up or sit-down … whatever the host in your town dreams up that year. The one thing all Feb Clubs have in common, though, is their relaxed multi-generational nature … each year, alums from the Classes of the ’40’s to the ’00’s meet up and connect at Feb Club Emeritus.
RSVP now at www.febclubemeritus.com to be placed on the guest list for the party in your town. There are many dozens of parties worldwide, so there is sure to be one near you. If your village is feeling left out, fret not—the website will tell you how easy it is to join the hoopla.
See you in February!
