*MIT alums working for the common good*

Tuesday, March 13 2007, 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Muddy Charles Pub - Walker Memorial

We'd like to invite graduate students to a social event being hosted
by the MIT Club of Boston, for local MIT alums and grad students who
are involved or interested in social enterprise work -- non-profit,
public service, or other fields where the primary motivation is the
betterment of the local, national, or international community.

Registration to current grad students is free (though it's only $5
otherwise).  There will be a buffet dinner (soul food) and cash bar.

* Designing water sanitation systems for humanitarian relief
* Connecting a state senator with his immigrant constituents
* Running a community service volunteer program

Local MIT alumni/ae are doing all of this and more in professions that
benefit the common good!

Everyone is welcome, especially if you are currently working in a
non-profit, public service or social enterprise profession or are
contemplating switching to a new career.

RSVP using Smartrans by 3/11. After 3/11, call Lori at 617-282-7177 to
see whether space remains.
