July jazz happy hour at the Campus Club
Tue, Jul 24 2018, 4pm
The Social Activities Committee would like to invite you to join other UMRA members for the Jazz Happy Hour on July 24th from 4:00 - 7:00 pm, sponsored by the Campus club, on their terrace. We have reserved tables for UMRA members. See above invite for specific information. I have been told that the jazz group is young, but they play the classics with heart and enthusiasm.
Please contact Cherie Hamilton to make your reservation. If you are a member of the CC and make your reservation directly with them, also email you name to Cherie so that she can keep track of UMRA member numbers.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 24th.
