On Saturday, October 13, Chet's was relocated from the Rathskellar to the Inn at College Park Hall. This change was to accommodate the Young Alumni/Senior Celebration, a highly anticipated part of the 2007 Homecoming and Family Weekend at Union College.
This event welcomed the classes of 2003 through 2008, so that recent graduates, and those soon to graduate, could reunite for a cause: giving back to Union.
The entrance fee of $5 guaranteed admission, as well as a complementary beer from Chet's, named after Chester A. Arthur, an alumnus himself.
Students were able to enjoy live music from a campus favorite, The Joe Bodden Band, and had unlimited access to pool tables brought in for the event. The entrance fee also placed students in a raffle for an Ipod Touch, which National Union Young Alumni Chair Brian Selchick, '06, presented to lucky winner Lindsey Quereau, '07, at the end of the night.
Young alumni such as Lis Sartori, '07, and Dan Tatar, '07, not only participate in fund-raising efforts for the campus, but for other deserving causes as well.
Sartori helped create the "Tie the Nott" campaign, which, along with tying a giant pink ribbon around the Nott Memorial, also raised several thousand dollars towards breast cancer research.
Tatar was a key player in "Rolling for Autism," another extremely successful charity initiative begun on campus.
The two recent graduates continued to give back to the college through their attendance at the Terrace Council reception on October 6 at the Ritz Carleton in New York City.
The Terrace Council is Union College's leadership gift society, which recognizes annual gifts of $2,000 or more per year. Valerie Hoffman,'75, and Patrick DiCerbo, '88, co-chair the over-700 member council, which welcomed $4,803,026 in 2005-2006.
The Council also introduced a new logo to its organization, which is at only the beginning of what some might call its "renaissance" period.
