Fwd: [Acbostonalums] Fwd: Reminder!

[Barbara Wallraff]

Hello again,

We have a busy program of  upcoming events for fundraising, learning,  
solidarity, and fun. You're invited.

Nonstop Antioch is requesting that all chapters hold fundraisers May  
1-5. The Boston chapter is offering you a choice of three (save the  
dates! anyone who attends all three will receive a special prize!):

On Saturday, May 3, at 7:00 p.m., I will be hosting the most posh  
dinner party I know how to give, at my house, 320 Dudley Street,  
Brookline. $100 per person -- it's a fundraiser! All proceeds will go  
to Nonstop Antioch! Please reply to me (barbara at wordcourt.com) to  
reserve a place or request more information.

On Sunday, May 4, 12:30 to 5 p.m. Niela Miller '57 will host a  
potluck brunch/lunch at the beautiful Nagog Woods Clubhouse in Acton.  
RSVP to Niela  (nielam at comcast.net or 978-264-4565) to sign up for  
the event and tell her what dish you will bring.

That week Serena and Roy Crystal (both '72) will give a party at  
their house in Lexington, details to be announced. For more  
information, email the3crystals at rcn.com.

Other Boston chapter meetings and events

Chapter planning meeting on Tuesday, April 29, at 6:30 p.m., at the  
home of Masha Etkin '63, 10 Copley Street, Brookline. Among other  
things, we'll be getting ready for our May 14 event. Please let me  
know if you're coming, for the sake of having enough take-out food  
for dinner. (Be sure to mention any special food needs.)

On Wednesday, May 14, at 6:30 p.m., at Dudley House, Harvard, a  
conversation with Richard Couto, the editor of the recent book  
“Courses in Courage,” and our own Gordie Fellman, a contributor to  
the book, about the groundbreaking work of Antioch social scientists.  
A buffet dinner will be served.

Roy Crystal, Everett Mendelsohn, Barbara Schram, Stan Morse, and  
anyone else interested will meet as a committee to plan an event in  
October or November on “Reinventing Higher Education in the 21st  
Century”.  We’ll explore efforts by colleges such as Goddard, Bard,  
and the College of the Atlantic  to reinvigorate themselves  to meet  
challenges, and perhaps how colleges in trouble have reconstituted  
themselves.  We're going to see what happens with the ongoing  
Trustees-ACCC negotiation in an effort to make this event relevant  
and useful as part of the effort to keep Antioch College alive.  
Contact Roy at the3crystals at rcn.com  if you want to help.

Niela Miller is exploring the possibility of holding an Antioch  
alumni event in the “Second Life” cyberspace, details to be  
announced. Please let Niela (contact info above) know if you can help  
her plan this.

National events

Antioch College commencement will be on Saturday, April 26, in Yellow  
Springs. Alumni are more than welcome to attend.

The Antioch College Reunion will be held Thursday, June 19, through  
Sunday, June 22, with the work project taking place June 16-19. The  
Alumni Board is urging a huge turnout to show faith in our efforts to  
keep Antioch alive.
