Past Events
Holiday Party
|
The speakers at the holiday party were apparently very good, but went on for a little too long.
|
Perhaps have only one speaker in the future, since two seemed long or 8-minute limit total for each speaker.
|
|
Professor Carter Lecture
|
Thirteen people attended the Professor Carter lecture. It was a great lecture and we discussed how we could get higher attendance levels.
|
For the lectures, maybe charge $$ for events to lock in more members, make them RSVP, create a phone tree calling people to promote, and email the Ivy Plus list (for lectures only). Perhaps set up a committee of three people in charge of getting attendance levels up. Gail will spearhead getting RSVP’s for future events.

Dear Alumni,

What: Brown Club of Oregon Holiday Party
When: Friday, January 23rd, 7:00 p.m.
Where: Harris Matarazzo’s home in SW Portland (Address to be provided upon RSVP)
We’ll have two local alumni giving a short presentation about their life passions:
Helen Spector, Sociology Major, Pembroke Class of 1967
Helen will talk about her 18 years supporting the Council for a Parliament of the Worlds’ Religions, an international interfaith movement in pursuit of a more just, sustainable and peaceful world. She’ll give is a brief history of the Parliament, beginning with the 1893 World’s Parliament of Religions held as part of the Chicago World’s Fair, the first time that leaders of eastern traditions met the leaders of western traditions.
Peter Hanaway, Brown Class of 1984
Peter will talk about his new book, Expanding Power. His book aims to provide a practical, effective approach for helping us get more of what we want through “win/win engagement”. The principles laid out in his book aim to provide richer relationships and improved professional results while providing a contagious quality that ripples out, strengthening the fabric of goodwill in our communities.
