OAANY Nutmeggers,
My sincerest apologies that more than two months have passed since our inaugural dinner at Mario’s without my getting in touch. My excuse is that, almost immediately after the event, I started work on a particular project that has been keeping me busy, and sometimes traveling.
Anyway, thanks to the twenty-five who came out on a wet Thursday night in late September when they could have stayed at home to watch the first presidential debate, or the New York Yankees. I know that I had a good time, and believe that you did too.
The OAANY knows of about 500 Oxford alumni in Connecticut. This e-mail is being sent to 35 alumni who either attended the Mario’s event, or have expressed an active interest in having a Connecticut chapter. I think it would be a great target to organize four OAANY CT events in 2005 – perhaps two speakers, one dinner or party, and one event tailored to families. I would appreciate your views on this goal.
Finally, I think the chapter needs a small “core group” of a few members to organize these events, and ensure that the Chapter develops in a way that suits the needs and interests of as many of us as possible. I would greatly appreciate volunteers. The time commitment should not be onerous.
I look forward to meeting you all soon, again or for the first time, and to getting the CT Chapter up and running in 2005. If anyone would like to organize informal Holiday drinks in 2004, I will certainly help.
With best regards,
Rob
