Sacramento

TO:  University of Michigan Alumni and Friends in the Sacramento Area,

Thanks to all of you who joined us last Saturday!  We had just about 40 alumni, family and friends film “The Victors”.  It was great fun despite the wind and cold.  At least it didn’t rain on us!  Thanks to Bret Becker for all of his video work and leadership on this event.  A special thanks also goes to Clyde Kidd as our conductor!   Below is a link to the YouTube posting of our efforts.

We would also like to thank all of you (20 people) who then joined us for lunch and a tour of the Crocker Art Museum.  A special thanks goes to Justin Drake, 2nd VP, who arranged the lunch and tour and was our site leader. It was a great event and great day all around!

 “THE VICTORS”

We submitted two video files to the media coordinator for the AAUM in Ann Arbor.  He will edit the videos for a video montage that will be used worldwide to promote the University of Michigan and the Alumni Association.  He has already informed us that he will use an edited version of ours to help promote the completion of the project.  He hopes this video montage will be updated periodically and used for years to come.

To view our uncut videos use the link below.  The first video showing the Capitol and us from a distance will come up.  Click on the tab that says “2 videos” (just above the Capitol) to see the close-up version.

CHECK OUT the SACRAMENTO CLUB MEET-UP GROUP!

The U of M Club of Sacramento has received a generous grant from Alumni Association of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to sponsor a club meet-up group.  Meetup.com is a social networking site where people with similar interests can schedule events.  It is free to join (you can use your existing Face book account) and easy to use!  You'll find official club events on the site to which you can RSVP as well as unofficial club events.  For example, alumni have met for dinners, happy hours, and watching football on Saturdays not scheduled at the Riverside Clubhouse.  We hope you'll take time to check it out and join our group:  http://www.meetup.com/U-of-M-alumni-of-Sacramento/

 


 GO BLUE!
