A Delightful Holiday Party!

Members, family and friends enjoyed a cozy gathering of about 30 attendees at this year's holiday party, which took place yesterday afternoon. Our Club President, Seemant Chaturvedi '85, led the festivities, and provided a brief overview of the club's increasingly favorable state of affairs.

Below are photos taken at the event. Click images to enlarge them. If you have additional photos, please share them with the club by emailing George Corser '85 at gcorser@alumni.princeton.edu.

As the afternoon opened, Seemant led us in conversation.  

Seemant also led us in dining! 

There were three tables of 10 people at the event. Above is "table one."

John Teeter, the ASC chair gave us an update on ASC activities.  

And the games began...

Seemant's table won the "question trivia" part of the games. Everyone received a Tiger candle, as shown by Seemant's daughter (lower right)

Michigan Princetonians ~

You and your guest(s) are invited to enjoy the holiday season with your fellow Princetonians at the Princeton Club Holiday Party on Saturday, December 16, 2006, from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m., at the Livonia Marriott, where we have reserved a private, non-smoking banquet room. We will have a social hour followed by a buffet lunch for you and your family. This will be followed by trivia games, entertainment and prizes. Undergrads, grads, alumni and parents are encouraged to attend. The Club President will also provide information on some of our planned activities for 2007.

RSVP BY PRE-PAYMENT. We need to get an accurate count for the hotel, so we strongly encourage pre-payment. The cost is only $16 per person if pre-paid, or $20 per person at the door. There is a $10 charge for children 12 and under. To pre-pay by credit card, click on the Visa-Mastercard icon at the top right of this web site.

BRING A GIFT FOR THE RAFFLE. There will be a gift table at the event. Though purely optional, each guest is encouraged to bring a wrapped gift item valued at $5-10 or so, such as a paperback book, picture frame, bag of candy, tree ornament or other knick-knack. These gifts will be raffled off to the lucky attendees.

ATTIRE IS CASUAL. This is foremost a social event, and the venue is festive, not formal. Orange and/or black clothing is particularly encouraged, but the most important thing is that you be comfortable. Wear what you like, come as you are. This is an informal event so feel free to bring children.

Steering Committee Meets Today

George Corser '85, Seemant Chaturvedi '85 (President), David Williams '94 (Club Secretary) and Jeff Page '64 (past President and current Club Treasurer) met today for the fall Steering Committee Meeting at the Somerset Inn in Troy.

Seemant Chaturvedi '85 Leads PC Michigan

Dr. Seemant Chaturvedi '85 is now the President of the Princeton Club of Michigan. For those of you who don't already know, besides receiving his undergraduate degree from Old Nassau in '85, he completed his MD degree at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in 1989. He did his residency at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in 1993, and is currently Associate Professor of Neurology at Wayne State University. He is an expert on strokes, and has written numerous articles and at least one book on the subject. He was also elected Member of Best Doctors in America, 1999-2000, Best Doctors in America, Midwest, 1996, and the Detroit Free Press Best Doctors in Detroit.

So we know at least two things for certain. First, the Princeton Club of Michigan will be in very capable hands. And second, at every major PC Michigan event, there will be at least one doctor in the house!

Thanks go out to Seemant, for his selfless service to Princeton's Michigan alumni. And congratulations go out to the rest of us, who will benefit greatly from his diligent and faithful leadership.

Jeff Page '64 Passes the Reins of Leadership

Joseph F. Page, III, or "Jeff Page '64," as we know him, will be passing the reins of Princeton Club leadership to Seemant Chatervedi '85. Our thanks and appreciation go out to Jeff, and we humbly hope that he will continue to advise and guide us as a fellow member in the years ahead. We also look forward to his future novels, under the name of Jeff Baldwin...
