Special Alumni Program: Connect with Yale in New Haven

The Association of Yale Alumni invites you to an extraordinary opportunity for alumni in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the New York City area: "Connect with Yale," a one day festival of faculty lectures, family activities, and facility tours. Extraordinary because of the wealth of activities and because the AYA is extending this opportunity to you at an incredibly affordable price $15 for the day - or $45 if you include breakfast, lunch and an afternoon reception in Yale Commons.

As Yale historian George Pierson famously quipped, "Yale is at once a tradition, a company of scholars, and a society of friends." Come enjoy the tradition, listed to the scholars, and join your friends on May 2nd. Come for one event, or come for all!

 **Please join us at this fun event and contribute to a great cause!!!**

All proceeds from the race support the charity Shoe4Africa (www.shoe4africa.org), which works to use athletics on a community level to support widespread initiatives in education and health, with an emphasis of HIV/AIDS awareness. As part of these initiatives, Shoe4Africa collects new and used athletic shoes and distributes them in Africa at the popular Shoe4Africa community road races.

The 5K (3.1mi) "fun run" is open to all ages and abilities.  Participants receive a free race t-shirt, entry into a raffle prize drawing, and post-race refreshments!

If you have new or lightly used athletic shoes that youd like to donate to the cause, start looking for Run4Africa boxes around campus (e.g. at the gym, outside residential dining halls, etc.), and drop them off during the weeks leading up to the race, or at the race itself!

For more complete information, please go to www.yalebulldogs.com/ run4africa.html.  You can also go directly to online registration: http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1723003.  Discounts are available for youth and students.  Register now to guarantee t-shirt sizes and availability!

lWhile tourism has become the worlds largest earner of foreign exchange, famed author and Japan expert Alex Kerr argues that Japan has largely missed a great opportunity. Through extensive photographs, Kerr illustrates how poorly planned development has degraded much of Japans natural environment and destroyed many old towns and natural scenery key attractions for tourists.

However, Japan has recently discovered the power of tourism to revive depressed rural communities. This is bringing with it a new-found interest in preserving traditional buildings and protecting the natural environment. Using examples of successful historic renovation and new approaches to managing tourist sites in both rural and urban Japan, Kerr offers an innovative vision for the future of international tourism in Japan.   Moderated by Robert Fish, '93.

TIPS has been filling the nights of LA and San Fran with laughs and cocktailing Ivy Leaguers (and Ivy Plus-ers) since 2006.

Stop-by our website to see snapshots of some of the fun weve had along the way and make sure to be a part of the sparkling NYC nights ahead! (www.ivyplussociety.org).

TIPS brings together young alumni from a select group of schools to create a community of talented, dynamic individuals. The chance to meet incredible people was one of the best parts of the top schools we were privileged to attend. We create fun opportunities for this exceptional group to connect here in the real world, beyond the iron-gates of our alma maters.
