FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF MEMBERSHIPDear fellow alumni, For more than 146 years, members of the Yale Club of Washington, D.C. have served as the backbone of the Yale alumni community throughout the DMV. Through this tradition of member support, the Club brings local Yale alumni together to connect, learn, socialize, and serve the communities in which we live. We currently have 681 contributing Club members whose support allows the Club to serve the approximately 14,000 Yale degree holders, parents, and widows in the greater Washington area. The Yale Club of Washington, D.C. is among the most vibrant of all Yale clubs across the country. It is thanks to the financial support of our membership that we are able to do so much. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, Club membership has started to decline, understandable, in light of its effect on people’s professional lives and livelihoods. If you would like to be or remain a Club member, but are unable to do so due to financial hardship, please let me know. For those of you who are able, we invite you to become a member, if you are not one already. And for those of you who are members, we urge you to renew your membership, when the time comes. Being a member directly supports Club operations and activities. Our Club is more than just a social club. Our community service options, under the leadership of Maria Whelan, are particularly robust. We work closely with the Capital Area Food Bank and sponsor multiple community service fellowships a year. In addition, we offer educational programming focused on matters of urgent public interest, as well as a variety of topics that feature the diversity and achievement of Yale alumni. In times like these, it is important to remain connected. We welcome DMV Alumni from Yale College and ALL Yale graduate and professional schools as part of our community! Please do not hesitate to contact the Club with your thoughts and suggestions, which will be most welcome. Stay well and healthy.
