Please mark your calendars for the 2016 Zinck's Night on the third Thursday in October -- just as every year! Klaus Conrad (M.S.'60) and Deloyce Conrad (B.S.'59) of the Munich Chapter have reserved a "Conrad-Cornell" table in some of the areas at the Ratskeller right at Marienplatz in the center of Munich for anytime after 6;30pm. Just ask the waiters for the table. Marienplatz can easily be reached by S- or U-Bahn public transportation.

Deloyce and Klaus are inviting all intested Cornellians to join fellow alumni, spouses and friends around the world for the annual celebration of the

International Spirit of Zinck’s Night

In addition to this posting Deloyce also tries to reach all Cornellians and Friends in the greater Munich area by e-mail. Please do help her out if you can to have a complete and accurate (e-)mailing list of Cornell alumni in the greater Munich area.

If you require additional information and/or to “R.S.V.P.” or if you may have special suggestions, please contact the Conrads under (08152) 79674 or mail to Deloyce.

This annual Cornell Beer Garden “get-together” in Munich is again taking place in the Hirschgarten, (www.hirschgarten.de) any time after 6:30 p.m. Directions and parking are also given in the English version on the Hirschgarten website.  It gives the S-Bahn directions as well – it is important that the correct stop is “Laim” and not the “Hirschgarten” stop! In case of bad weather Deloyce and Klaus have reserved a table either under an awning, or indoors.  The reservation is done under the name “Cornell-Conrad.”
