Keep an eye out for Performance Coach Mike Linn, son of local alumni and Club member, Peggy Maher.

I know it's been almost a month since UCLA signed 22 new athletes to the squad, but since it's the offseason I have to release info in small bits to keep people interested.

So here is a little video I made introducing everyone to the 22 guys UCLA is bringing in next  year.

When?  Tuesday, March 23, 2010; 5-7:00 PM
Where?  Mix Downtown, 1531 L Street

It’s TACO TUESDAY! In addition to MiX’s usual ½ off plates and drink specials, enjoy $2 tacos, margarita and tequila specials, and LIVE music featuring Zaragoza.

Come take advantage of great happy hour specials and mingle with fellow Bruins.

No RSVP is necessary. For more information, please contact Michelle Samore at msamore@ucla.edu.

For over 70 years, Alumni Scholarships have provided bright and deserving students with the financial assistance and incentives to attend UCLA.

Committees, near you, are looking for new volunteers for the Freshman and Ralph J. Bunche Scholarship Programs!  Alumni volunteers are integral to the selection.  As a volunteer, you would help directly determine which outstanding, local high school seniors will win between $4,000 - $17,500 in merit based scholarships.

Volunteers options/opportunities include:

• Day #1: Paper Screening - Committees will convene to read and score applications.   Based on the average scores, your team will decide who to interview.
  
  
• Day #2: Interview Day - Your team will interview each eligible candidate.  Interview scores will be combined with the paper screening scores.  You and your committee will determine who wins $4,000, and also who advances to the next (Area) level.

Most committees are paper screening and interviewing on the last two weekends in March. Any volunteers who wish to interview, must also paper screen the applications. Interviews are really fun because these students are so amazing! However, if you can only volunteer for one day, the District Chair in your area can find the right position for you.

Please contact Stephanie Brown at (408)730-1649 or StephanieBrown@UCLAlumni.net immediately and let her know where you reside so she can get you in touch with the appropriate District Chair.

We look forward to including you in the Alumni Association's #1-Rated Volunteer Experience!

The Board has been busy getting ready for a great 2010. We are already planning our core events of Campus Connection, scholarship golf tournament, and bus trip to the UCLA v. Cal football game. Now, we want to know what other events or fundraisers you would be interested in seeing the Club organize. So, we have put together a quick survey that will take less than 5 minutes to complete.
