THANK YOU - Cornell vs. Clarkson Cornell Alumni Happy Hour in NYC - Park Avenue Country Club - 8:00 PM

[bigggreddd77]

To everyone in NYC and nearby,

I'm a member of the Cornell BAR Committee (and a big Cornell hockey fan) who is in charge or organizing the monthly Cornell NYC Alumni happy hours.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that there will be a Cornell BAR Committee Happy Hour/Party centered around the viewing of the Cornell vs. Clarkson televised game on Friday night, 1/28.  

"Good Evening Hockey Fans!!!" - Come join fellow Cornell Alumni and host Jason Demby '99 at the Park Avenue Country Club to watch the Cornell Big Red Hockey team defend their #9 national ranking (as of 1/3) against league rival Clarkson in their only remaining televised game of the regular season.  We have reserved the Lounge area for the showing of the game so bring your spirit and all of your friends to the first Alumni Happy Hour of the year!  Cornell prizes will be given to those showing up in Cornell apparel.
Date: Friday, January 28th
Time: 8:00 PM
Location: Park Avenue Country Club, 381 Park Ave South (at 27th Street), (212) 685-3636.
Interested in planning future Cornell Young Alumni Happy Hours?  Email ny_net_news@cornell.edu.

Ship of Fools has been good to us, right? Why change?

[bigggreddd77]

Do you guys usually have a good crowd that gathers there?  How many people?  

I had no idea that was where people went to watch...

[Gabe Heafitz 98 04]

There were about ten or so people there for the CU-BC Everblades game last week.  We took the back room, which had lots of flat screen TVs (albeit with distorted pictures -- what the hell) and a pool table.  If the venue isn't already chosen for the happy hour, Ship of Fools is a very good spot.

That back room could probably hold, what, fifty people?  It would be sweet to have a good crowd cheering on the Red...

[bigggreddd77]

I was over at Blondie's and we also had about 10 people watching the CU/BC game.  

Thanks for the suggestions...I've been to Ship of Fools and agree that its a good place.
I decided that it might be a better idea and get more people if we held this a little more towards the middle of the city so we're holding the event at Park Avenue Country Club.

I'm sure that everyone here in NYC has their favorite place to watch a game, but if you guys could all spread the word and show up at Park Avenue Country Club to support this event that would be great.  I think we all agree that its a lot more fun to watch a game with other fans.

Here is the scoop which you'll see in the Cornell NY Net News:

Pick your poison....Park Avenue or Ship of Fools.......I am sure I can get three or four Clarkson alum to show.

[bigggreddd77]

OK...Now if more Clarkson fans show up to this than Cornellians...that would be BAD!

LET'S PACK THIS PLACE!!!

[RichS]

The Clarkson alumni and fans SHOULD be gathering at one of the chosen sites for this game.  The CSTV production replaces our annual "satellite broadcast" which is traditionally one of the Tech-RPI games.

Sites are listed at  www.clarkson.edu.  Click on "Alumni".   cornell fans are welcome, there's no admin charge as there was in the past because Clarkson has no production costs to cover thanks to CSTV.  :-D

Hey...I live in NYC...and wanted to meet up with some fellow Lynah faithful ...I'll be bringing some friends to the Park Avenue Country Club...Hope its a good crowd....Who else here is planning on going???

[billhoward]

Park Avenue Country Club is nice, large (but segmented) so there's lots to do if you show up early. If you take the Lexington Ave. local, get off at 28th Street.

[bigggreddd77]

I've made a posting for the Park Avenue Country Club event to the NYC Cornell Alumni Yahoo bulletin board.  For those of you that are in the area but are not on it, its a good way to find out about Cornell related events going on in the city.  It also proves useful for job postings, apartments, etc.  I recommend that you subscribe:

I hope to see you all on Friday, 1/28 and Park Avenue Country Club!

Who from here will be coming?

[Gabe Heafitz 98 04]

I'm there.  Thanks very much for putting this together.  Hope there's a big, rowdy crowd cheering for the Red.

[bigggreddd77]

Just a little more information.  To subscribe to the Cornell NYC Alumni yahoo group/bulletin send an email to:

big_red_bulletin-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

I've gotten some positive response from my posting to the bulletin so far so hopefully we will have a pretty good crowd at Park Avenue Country Club.  Hope you all can make it!  (Feel free to post something on this thread if you are going to be coming

[bigggreddd77]

Cool...see you there Gabe...we're also trying to get a few little Cornell things to give away (stickers, etc) to people who are wearing their Cornell gear but no promises.
