Join us for drinks, conversation and fun along hot and hoppin' Burlington at Madera's, located at 3 Main Street Landing. This is a great opportunity to get to know some Cornell alumni.

Our gracious hosts, Scott, Pat, Jackie and Walter Sainsbury open up their sprawling Moretown, Vermont farm for another fantastic BBQ (if you've joined us before, you know that Pat and Jackie are superb chefs!)
But that's not all - there will be hay rides, bocce ball, croquet and other fun activities for kids and adults alike. We may even have a tractor pull and a neat hike for nature aficionados.
So bring your big red spirit, family and friends to join us for some fall fun!
Please also bring a dish to pass: salads, appetizers, desserts and sides are all welcome.

Walt Bruska, '50, will chair the Annual Phonathon at the Merrill Lynch offices in Burlington. Alumni are encouraged to participate in a night of fun, food and prizes - and take advantage of the opportunity to reach out to New England alumni to ask for their support of the Cornell Annual Fund.

You're invited to join the Cornell Club of Vermont for our first annual alumni book club.
Cornell's incoming class and much of the rest of the Cornell community read Gary Wills' Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words That Remade America , as part of the 2008-2009 New Student Reading Project. The Cornell Club of Vermont invites you to join in a local discussion of this work while reflecting on your own studies on The Hill.

We invite you to our 2008 holiday celebration at the Echo Science Center- a night to celebrate Cornell and to raise funds for the new Cornell Club of Vermont scholarship fund. This will be a gala event!

We're putting together two exciting activities for the winter: a family cross-country skiing excursion and a curling lesson. Please contact Alexandra if you'd like to help us plan.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of Elmore Mountain Bread. Owners Blair Marvin and Andrew Heyn will show us the craft of kneading, shaping and baking bread while discussing local and organic ingredients. Elmore Mountain Bread is distributed locally to grocery stores, restaurants and farmer's market. Come dressed comfortably (the oven is hot!) and bring some wine or cheese to share. Watch your email for date and time of this event.

Bring your kids (and the young at heart) for a group tour of one of Burlington's most exciting and interactive museums. ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center features 70 species of live fish, amphibians, invertebrates, and reptiles, over 100 interactive experiences, seasonal changing exhibits and events, and the Ecology, Culture, History, and Opportunity for stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin. Ticket price is $7 for Adults (18+) and $4.50 for youth (3-17). Watch your email for date and time of this event.

Once again, we'll team up with the Cornell Club of New Hampshire to catch the Big Red on ice. Meet Cornell alumni from Vermont and New Hampshire at the pre-game party! Watch your email for ticket information.

We're putting together some tours of local businesses - wineries, chocolatiers, etc. - as well as planning our very own version of Cornell's newest student tradition - Slope Day. Slope Day is an end-of-semester celebration that takes place on Libe Slope each year. We'll also host yet another wonderful Cornell professor as part of out Speaker Series event.

Join us as we celebrate the Class of 2013!

Join in on the fun by helping the Cornell Club of Vermont Board plan its activities for the upcoming year. We always welcome newcomers with fresh ideas.

We hold open board meeting four-six times per year. If you're interested in joining us or becoming a board member, please email Alexandra at ant9@cornell.edu for more information. All are welcome to join. Refreshments provided by our gracious host, Walt Bruska, '50!
