Save the date for our 11th Annual Speaker Dinner! We are delighted to host Abby Brethauer, Head Coach of the Women’s Swimming and Diving team as our featured speaker. In addition, we are honored to host Livia Wong McCarthy, Director of Alumni Council Operations at Princeton, who will officially present the club with the Austin P. Leland Award for General Excellence. Join us for a Princeton lawnparties-style, Texas-themed event, with lawn-games by the lake, a bluegrass band featuring 3 local alumni, and a BBQ dinner. Orange & black attire encouraged; cowboy casual attire optional.

The Yale Club of Austin invites its Ivy+ friends to play paintball at nearby Xtreme Paintball in Manor.  For anyone who has not tried this sport before, it is a great way to meet people while getting in some exercise, and it’s lots of fun to play. Be sure to arrive by 9:45am for orientation (play starts at 10am).

Depending on how many sign up from each alumni group, we may make up teams using combinations of schools. Be sure to wear your school clothing. Headgear is provided for protection, and you can choose to wear full-length pants and shirts if you wish, though some choose to play in shorts and t-shirts.  There are restrictions on how close one can be to the “target” player (reinforced by the course monitors), so it’s not particularly uncomfortable to be hit.  The paint washes off clothing easily in cold water.

The cost will be $25, which includes all equipment and a full pack of paintballs. To sign up, please send $25 to the Yale Club of Austin via Zelle, and they’ll make the group payment. Check your email for more details…
