After Hours

Just a reminder, in conjunction with Homecoming, Washburn After Hours is this Friday, Oct. 26.  Join us from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center on the Washburn campus.  Enjoy appetizers, soft drinks, beer and wine. 
Special thanks to MRH Insurance Group Inc. for underwriting this month's After Hours.
We'll be back to our regular first-Friday schedule beginning next month.  So, that means two After Hours in two weeks!  Join us again Nov. 2 and help us thank the Washburn education department for underwriting the event.

We're helping the students with a canned food drive.  They're competing against Emporia State to see which school can collect the most cans for donation to a local charity.  Please bring a can or two of food and help us "Can Emporia."  Put your donation in the BIG soup can in the Alumni Center lobby.
This Friday's After Hours is complementary in celebration of Homecoming.  For the Nov. After Hours, admission is free for dues paid members of the Washburn Alumni Association or $5 for non members.  Not a member?  Consider joining.  Membership in the Alumni Association is open to all Washburn supporters.  You don't have to be a Washburn graduate to be a member.
Take advantage of FREE admission to After Hours by joining today at:

We hope to see you this Friday and next!

'Gearing' Up for Homecoming!

(See what I did there?)

Monday starts Homecoming Week for Washburn!  Are you ready?  The Alumni office is!  Here's a peek of their entry for the Top Hat Decoration Contest:

 Notice the Alumni Association mentions.  You better believe we're going to bring it and represent!

 Get it?  'Gearing' up?  No?

Never mind.

Stop by the main level of Memorial Union during the week from 10:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. Tuesday-Friday to vote for your favorite hat (THIS ONE, DUH!) by placing money into it's assigned jar.  All contributions donated will go to the United Way of Greater Topeka.  Also, come to After Hours Friday evening and bid on this one of a kind piece of Washburn 'gear'.  You want to buy it. You know you do.   Bidding closes at 7:00 p.m.
