AFLSE August National Newsletter for Current Members

Dear Reader,

We are entering the busiest month of the year for the AFLSE city chapters. We have 21 events listed at our website www.aflse.org for August.

There are ten bon voyage parties (Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Cleveland and Miami) where new students and alumni can mix in an informal environment, trade experiences and make new friends. Please sign up on line for these events so that organizers can know who to expect to meet.

There are four exclusively AFLSE social events taking place this month where you have a choice of Shakespeare in the Park (Houston) or a cold one at a downtown bar (New York, Boston, Chicago)

Two LSE professors are our guests for alumni events one in San Francisco and the other in Boston. Alumni tell us that they welcome these occasions more than any other events, so please try to attend if you are at all close by. The better the response, the more professors will agree to address our groups.

In addition to the AFLSE events that are outlined below, there are five New York and Los Angeles joint events with other alumni groups that are on our calendar.

	Miami: BACC Christmas Lunch Thursday, 12/11/08 at 2:30pm The British American Chamber of Commerce has sent an invitation to LSE alumni to attend their upcoming Christmas Lunch, a longstanding tradition. AFLSE members pay the BACC member rate for the event.
