DC Tulane Alumni Club
2nd Annual Katrina/Abita Happy Hour

Thursday, August 28, 2008
from 5:30

RFD
810 7th St. NW
Chinatown Metro (Yellow/Green/Red lines)

$20 to drink Abita (all proceeds to benefit the Green Charter School Library Rebuilding effort)

2008 is the third anniversary of Katrina, and its important that we commemorate what happened to our beloved city, but also celebrate what has been accomplished in three years of recovery. Not only has Tulane continued to exceed recovery expectations (the incoming freshman class was 100% early acceptance), so has the school system in New Orleans. Yet as we all know there is still a lot of work to be done.

To that end, teaming with Abita and RFD in Chinatown, the DC Tulane Club will host the Katrina/Abita Happy Hour to mark the anniversary and continue the recovery effort. All money raised will go directly to the Green Charter School Library Rebuilding Fund.

Starting at 5:30 PM in the back bar at RFD we will tap 3 kegs of Abita. RFD will also have their regular happy hour food and drink specials to offer. Although we encourage everyone to donate to the cause, if you want to attend and not drink Abita you are certainly able to do so at no cost.

CHALLENGE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES

The Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. (A&S’79) Regional Challenge Grant for Tulane Alumni Residing in the DC, Virginia, Maryland Area

Tulane alumnus Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. has announced a unique opportunity for alumni in the D.C., Virginia and Maryland area making a gift to the Tulane University Rebuilding Fund. Mr. Small will match all donations, dollar for dollar*, made to the Tulane University Rebuilding Fund from alumni donors in D.C., Virginia and Maryland and those who have not yet made a gift to the Tulane Rebuilding Fund - up to $500,000 total.

This Challenge allows these alumni to give to Tulane University knowing that the amount they give will be doubled, making the impact of their individual gifts even greater. The collective impact of new gifts from alumni and matching funds from this challenge grant will provide essential support for Tulane during its rebuilding process.
Donors from these areas need only make their gift to the Rebuilding Fund. Qualifying gifts will automatically be applied to the Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. Challenge Grant.

*up to $10,000 per household
