Summer Alfresco

July 31, 2009

9 alums and 1 spouse joined Monica Rocchino at her beautiful home in the Oakland hills for a Carberry Club dinner on Friday.

Dinner was scrumptious – Italian potluck style, with antipasti served on the porch before sunset. A good time was had by all. We discussed all things Brown, Bay Area and Second Life until late.  Thanks Monica!

Thanks to Mike O’Neil ‘73 for hosting brunch last Sunday.  10 alumni attended.  Here’s what Mike had to say:

Brunch was just wonderful.  EVERYONE showed up as promised. It was a fascinating and diverse lot, precisely as I expected it would be. I think I calculated a 42 year span in graduation years. The quality of the conversation matched the high caliber crowd. I was President of the Brown Club in Arizona for 20+ years (and still spend much of my time there) and intend to suggest this format to my successor as something she might want to consider. This was a terrific idea — I hope you continue the program.

Many thanks to Gabrielle Robles ‘93 for hosting a Carberry Club dinner at her home in Salinas on July 18th.  Two alums and three guests joined.

Oliver Daly ‘07 hosted an outstanding home cooked dinner for a dozen Brown ‘09ers and 3 young alums as part of BART, a program which helps recent grads get plugged into local alumni communities.  ‘09ers were able to meet each other and several connections were made to the other young alumni in the area.
