Anniversary Gala Brunch Information

The brunch will be the premier event in our celebration.  The Whitehead Institute (located next to Stata Center) has graciously invited us to hold our celebration at their facility.  Our keynote speaker will be James Ahlgren ‘55 (W4RX) who promises to entertain with stories about the club and ham radio in general.  We will also be inviting others to say a few words if they desire.

We have been working closely with the caterer to assemble an exceptional menu for the event - a far cry from the “food” usually served at our meetings!  Starters such as prosciutto-wrapped melon, and mango bruschetta will be followed by salmon and torte milanese as the mains.  The food will be memorable as will the table centerpieces!

Due to the logistics behind catering the brunch, we ask that all parties RSVP for the brunch no later than May 15.  The ticket cost is $20 for alumni, faculty, and staff and $10 for current students.  Attendees may also bring a guest to this event but a second ticket must be purchased.  Ticket purchases can be completed online through Alumni Association websiteTickets will not be sold at the door. If you have any problems registering, contact us at w1mx-100@mit.edu or +1 (617) 401-8175
