Important Reunion News
This coming week -- the week of November 28 -- the Association of Yale Alumni is going to be sending out a blast e-mail about our reunion.
When the e-mail goes out, blocks of rooms at the area hotels will be released. They will not last long. As soon as you get the AYA e-mail, please reserve your rooms for reunion.
Rumor has it that many in our class are trying to stay at The Study, which is a very nice place, a short walk from the festivities.

Roammeo
There is a new website and app that you should definitely check out. It is an app that helps you locate events of interest near you. Right now, the app only has New Haven and Yale events. Soon, it will roll out throughout the country, I am told. Put together by Yale students, it is quite a neat little app. The next time you are in New Haven, you should try it.
Yale Alumni Service Corps -- Nicaragua 2012
Come join us this March 10th-17th, 2012 as we fly into the capital city of Managua then travel inland to the vibrant town of Matagalpa in the coffee growing district. From this base we will travel up gravel roads past fields of corn, beans and coffee into the rain forest to impoverished communities on the mountain side. El Castillo is the second village up the mountain road and while it is the site of this year's March program by YASC, we will also invite the people of the adjacent communities to join us. These small remote villages lack clean water, medical care and educational opportunities - we need to help change this!Nicaragua 2012 - Main Page

Yale Alumni Service Corps–Ghana Trip
The Yale Alumni Service Corp has two great trips scheduled for 2012 – one is to Nicaragua and the other is to Ghana.
Here is the scoop on Ghana.
From July 28 through August 6 (then back to Accra) you, our volunteers, will be stationed in the town of Cape Coast where the University of Cape Coast has been working to help the local communities including Yamoransa to address the critical issues of poverty, health and education.
Yamoransa is a community of approximately 4,700 people situated on the main road that runs between Accra and Cape Coast. There are three schools and many children in the community. The main business of the community is the production of fante kenke, a typically Ghanaian food made of corn, primarily prepared by the women. For a variety of reasons and particularly because the women are the producers of fante kenke, there is a high drop-out rate of girls from the schools. In the early grades school there are slightly more girls than boys yet the drop-out rate for girls is so high that by 10th grade, 70% of the students are boys. There are no medical facilities in the community.
The Chief of Yamoransa in cooperation with the University has identified a number of projects that would provide meaningful assistance to the community. We are prepared to help them in many ways from medical services to education to micro-business consulting to needs assessment.
