Heidelberg Alumni from across the US will come together for the 2nd annual national alumni meeting on the weekend of September 25 - 27, 2009 in San Francisco, California. Friends of Heidelberg University are cordially welcome. We will also invite alumni from Mexico and Canada to join the festivities. The weekend will be kicked off with a casual dinner on Friday night.

Saturday morning is reserved for the "business" part, the annual meeting of HAUS. We are looking for input from all HAUS members, especially regarding the future direction of the alumni organization, new regional chapters, and additional events. All ideas are welcome so come prepared to brainstorm.

Sailing ship

Since the boat tour around Manhattan was such a success at the inaugural meeting in 2008, we are planning to offer a sailing trip in San Francisco Bay on Saturday afternoon.

The main event of the weekend will be dinner on Saturday evening, providing alumni and friends plenty of opportunities for networking and sharing memories. The speaker of the evening will be a scientist form Heidelberg University, who will highlight recent research at the university.

Sunday morning starting at 8:30 AM we are invited to an Election Party at the Goethe Institut to follow the German national election which takes place that day. The first results are expected for 9 AM Pacific Time/6 PM German Time.

Summer Outing to the North Fork of Long Island

Saturday, August 29, 2009

HAUS members Clark McCombe and Hannah Ortiz are graciously inviting their fellow Heidelberg Alumni to a fun summer outing to the North Fork of Long Island.

We will start the day with a visit to Clark's Briermere Farm. The place is famous for their incredibly delicious pies. After a short hayride exploring the farm (dress accordingly) and a pie tasting, Hannah invites us to lunch on the porch of her Victorian House nearby. Afterwards we would follow the North Fork out East, stop at a winery or two, stroll through Greenport and return via Shelter Island and two short ferry rides back to New York and surrounding areas.

To keep the logistics simple, we are planning to car pool (if need be with rental cars) and split the cost accordingly. We could supply recommendations for Bed & Breakfasts if some Alumni would like to stay over for the rest of the weekend.

Please let us know as soon as possible no later than August 21

⇒ If you would like to participate and
⇒ If you would be willing to drive your car and offer a ride to other alumni or
⇒ If you need transportation and
⇒ If you would like to stay an extra day.

We hope to see you on August 29!

Herzliche Grüße,

Melanie Rolli & Irmintraud Jost

Regional chapter for the greater Chicago area

February 11 2009, Chicago

 

Dear Heidelberg Alumni,

As many of you know, Heidelberg University founded an Alumni Chapter in the U.S. (HAUS) in October of 2008. One of the main goals for 2009 is to form regional chapters to make it easier for people to network, attend events and keep in touch with other former Heidelbergers.

On February 11 we would like to get together with Heidelberg alumni and friends to kick off the regional chapter for the greater Chicago area. We would like to hear your ideas, your expectations and learn from your experiences and of course we would need some volunteers who would like to get involved and some who would like to head this regional chapter.

Please join me and some enthusiastic alumni for the brainstorming meeting. We want to get to know each other and exchange some ideas.

We will meet on

Wednesday, February 11, 7 PM at

Berghoff
17 West Adams Street
Chicago, IL 60606

Please let me know if you will be able to join us since I will need to give the restaurant a final head count.

Thank you very much!

I look forward to meeting you next week.

Kind regards,

Irmintraud Jost
