October 18, 2007 International Spirit of Zinck's Night

Theodore Zinck was a saloonkeeper in Ithaca and his pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular gathering place for Cornellians in the 1890s. After his death in 1903, several bars using his name continued to provide a haven for students. When the last "Zinck's" closed in the mid-60s, celebrating the spirit of Zinck's became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates.

Join us at The Bearded Frog in Shelburne, Vermont (owned and operated by Michel Mahé, '87) for incredible food and flowing drinks and Cornell friends of all classes. Watch your email for more information about Zinck's as the date approaches.



October 2007 Annual Phonathon

Walt Bruska '50 will chair the Annual Phonathon at the Merrill Lynch offices in Burlington. All alumni are encouraged to participate in a night of fun, food and prizes - and a wonderful opportunity to reach out to Vermont alumni and ask for their support of the Cornell Annual Fund. The event will run from 6-9pm
