Macalester grads, unite!
Alumni of the St. Paul college will gather tonight in cities across the globe. It's the second annual "Welcome to our City" event aimed connecting "Macites" to share "insider tips" about living in their cities.
This year, the get-togethers will be held in Beijing, Boston, Chicago, London, New Orleans, New York City, Portland, Ore., San Francisco, Seattle and Washington D.C.
The D.C. event, a spokeswoman predicted, will be the biggest. Last year, it was: 91 people attended.
I sent an email to the host of the San Francisco gathering, Julie Lehnhoff, who graduated from Macalester in 1997. She moved to the Bay Area in 2006, where she discovered a number of Mac connections. She began attending and hosting alumni events, like their book club. Eventually she was elected to the Alumni Board.
I will let her continue:
