Klaus and Deloyce Conrad are announcing plans for the "Summer Quaterly" of the Munich Chapter.

This annual Cornell beer garden “get-together” in Munich will take place in the Hirschgarten on Thursday July, 28, 2011, any time after 6:30 p.m., (www.hirschgarten.de)  Directions and parking are also given in the English version.  It gives the S-Bahn directions as well – it is important that the correct stop is “Laim” and not “Hirschgarten” !  We have had such bad luck with the weather these past few years, that Deloyce and Klaus will reserve a table either under an awning, or indoors.  The reservation is under the name “Cornell-Conrad.”

The Berlin Chapter is again extending and growing its cooperation with other Ivy League & leading University Alumni Clubs in Berlin. Now Dr. Martin Heckelmann is happy to extand an invitation to invite all Cornellians for a casual " International Alumni Summer Get-together".

It will take place at Zollpackhof, Elisabeth-Abegg Strasse 1, 10557 Berlin, a few minutes walking distance from Hauptbahnhof. More information please find at www.zollpackhof.de.

It is planned to meet in the Biergarten, but should it be raining that day we have a reservation in the restaurant.
