The Boston Chapter of the Alumni Association is currently planning a half-day symposium on re- envisioning education for Saturday, November 15, 2008, at Dudley House, Harvard University, Cambridge, to be followed by a dinner. Join us in helping to make this an exciting, inspiring event. We need volunteers to -- Identify and contact Yellow Springs faculty and alums to involve them and serve as liaison -- Participate in discussions to define the agenda and help obtain guest speakers -- Work with our technical wizard Jeff McConnell to make the event accessible to Antiochians everywhere by means of the Internet -- Contact speakers and facilitators and help with logistics of the day, including organizing and picking up speakers, and hosting or finding hosts for out-of-town alums or speakers -- Manage our budget and serve as our treasurer -- Expand our contacts with other Antioch College alumni chapters and the broader Antioch community and invite them by mail or e-mail to participate -- Manage registration or rsvps We are looking for people willing to put in some effort. If you would like to help, here are two ways: 1) contact Roy Crystal, 781-861-1518, ?the3crystals@rcn.com? and describe your specific interest, and 2) attend the next planning meeting Wednesday July 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Roy and Serena Crystal, 34 Grapevine Avenue, Lexington MA.
