We are happy to announce that several new people have joined the Triangle Yale Club Board of Directors:

• Gerald Levon
• Clark Troy
• Aggie Lau
• Bonnie Yankaskas

As always, if you are interested in joining us or if you would like to share any thoughts with us, please email us a triangleyaleclub at gmail dot com.

John Welch, Development Director for Urban Ministries of Wake County has reached out to us with an urgent request for volunteers to work in the food pantry on weekdays between 9 AM and 1 PM.  Due to a spate of job changes, illness, and injury, they are short-handed.  The food pantry relies on volunteers to pack groceries and load them into cars of families seeking their help.  Urban Ministries provides a week’s worth of groceries to up to 50 families every weekday.  These families typically face the choice of paying rent or buying food.  With your help, Urban Ministries can continue to offer them some hope.

If interested, please contact the Volunteer Manager for Urban Ministries of Wake County, Beverly Benitez, at bbenitez@urbanmin.org.

Here are pictures of our recent event at Playmakers.  We were greeted by Dee Maaske, who played the lead role in the performance.  We also heard Jan Chambers, Scenic and Costume Designer for 4000 Miles, interviewed by Jeffrey Meanza, Associate Artistic Director.

Many thanks to TYC member, Michael Gerhardt, for arranging this event.

Thanks to the volunteers that joined us on Saturday, November 1st at the Durham Food Bank!  Great job!  Thanks for making this event a success!

Thank you to all who attended our 3rd Annual Durham Bulls game event on August 23rd!  We had a great time celebrating the end of summer with you!  This year, we opened this event to the Ivy + network of clubs and welcomed over 100 alumni from Yale, Harvard, MIT, Barnard, U of Chicago, and other schools.  It was a fun evening for all!  Thank you to Zach Allen for these photos!

A big thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Day of Service at the Durham Food Bank!  This was such a positive experience in terms of getting important work accomplished as well as having an enjoyable social interaction with all of our volunteers!  Given the success of this event, we plan to organize this event again on a quarterly basis!  If anyone is interested in joining, please email us at triangleyaleclub@gmail.com, and we will add you to our list.  We will send out more information directly to you as the next service day is planned.  A special thanks to Bonnie Yankaskas for her help in organizing this!

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!  We were pleased by the excellent turnout for the Yale-Harvard game at Tobacco Road Cafe (even if we did lose).  Thanks for all who attended!  We hope you had fun!

Also, we are grateful for all of our new members and your support of our club!  We aim to offer great events and activities in the coming year.

Sincerely,
Suzanne
Treasurer, Triangle Yale Club

Although we still need some tweaks, we are ready to go live with our new website!  We have an SSL certificate so we can handle membership, event registration, and all payments securely.  We hope that you find this website much more user-friendly than our old one.

Welcome to the new Triangle Yale Club website.  As you can see, we are still working on this site and hope to have it live soon.  In the meantime, please visit our site hosted by the Association of Yale Alumni at https://www.alumniconnections.com/olc/pub/YALE/cpages/yale/welcome.jsp?chapter=83
