Networking Event in Philly
Gettysburg College cordially invites BOLD Alumni to a unique Networking Event in Philadelphia on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 1600 Market Street (Center Hall of the PNC Bldg.), 6:00-9:00 p.m. The event will feature not only Gettysburgians, but also alumni from Amherst, Hamilton, Middlebury and Trinity, along with fellow Centennial Conference schools Dickinson, F&M, McDaniel, Ursinus and Washington. What makes this special is that it will feature "speed networking," in which you'll meet with at least 12 different people for six minutes each, and the folks you meet with are based on your stated profession-type preferences.
The cost of the event is $31 and includes appetizers and soft drinks. You will receive a personalized schedule when you arrive at the door on Nov. 11. To register by the Nov. 5 deadline, send an e-mail to event organizer Craig Turet at psn2008@yahoo.com, and include the following information: Name, E-mail, Company & Position, Profession/Industry, Gettysburg College Class.
Don’t delay, as space is limited, and the event may fill up before Nov 5. If you have any questions, please contact Craig Turet directly at (215) 241-8821 or psn2008@yahoo.com, or Gettysburg alumni director Joe Lynch '85 at jlynch@gettysburg.edu or 717-337-6522.

BOLD Kick-Off
The BOLD Council also held their first meeting over Homecoming Weekend. The Council had many great ideas about things they would like to try. You will be hearing more about the Council's initiatives over the next year. If you have any ideas you would like to contribute please feel free to e-mail us at bold@gettysburg.edu.
The weekend was capped off by the BOLD Kick-Off in the Attic. Over 450 alumni, friends and current students came out to help us celebrate the start of the BOLD young alumni program. Look for BOLD Kick-Off events in your city over the next year as we take this event on the road.
Best,

Welcome to the BOLD Blog!
BOLD is Here for You!
Gettysburg College is working to provide young alumni services important to you. The formation of the Burgians of the Last Decade (BOLD) is a direct result of interested young alumni developing such a program.
The BOLD program exists to:
- Encourage and maintain the relationship between young alumni and the College through volunteer activities and philanthropic support.
- Educate and encourage young alumni to participate by giving back financially to the College building on the Senior Class Gift Campaign.
- Advocate the needs and concerns of young alumni.
- Implement young alumni programming that enhances career and social networking opportunities while cultivating new volunteer leaders.
- Assist young alumni in transition from student to graduate instilling the notion "Gettysburgians for Life."
The BOLD Council is responsible for this content and the initiatives of the BOLD program. The Council is always looking for news, information, ideas and interested participants. Please send any ideas, questions, or your name if interested in joining the Council to BOLD@gettysburg.edu.
We hope this provides you with a better forum to stay connected and informed.
We look forward to serving you.
BOLD Council
