Brown Club OC had an unprecedented number of events in 2015 including record breaking attendance for Dr. Lucy Jones ‘74 speaking about the implications of a 7.8 earthquake on the southern San Andreas Fault.
To keep BCOC vibrant, growing, relevant and fun, we need YOU! BCOC is your club, and we need your participation, ideas, enthusiasm and support to ensure our 5th year is our best ever.
I recently joined the Brown Alumni Association Board of Governors and am honored to represent your interests. I welcome your ideas and invite you to let me know how that organization can better serve our needs and interests.
Likewise, I invite you to attend the annual BCOC kick-off meeting on Tuesday, January 12th from 6:00-9:00 p.m. The agenda will include board elections and preliminary calendar planning for 2016 – so this is your chance to be heard about the types of events you want to support this year.
Space is limited, so if you are interested, please contact me at 949-636-1975 or scott.ed@cox.net for more details.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and, on behalf of the
entire Brown Club OC board, wish you a Happy, Healthy 2016!
-Scott Westerfield
President/BCOC
