Unite For Sight's Founder and CEO will hold a 1/2-day dynamic, immersive global health workshop. Currently, 4 billion people in the world own cell phones, including those in villages where healthcare is non-existent. What enables the delivery and distribution of goods at the "base of the pyramid," and what hinders healthcare delivery? What strategies can be applied to provide healthcare for the world's poorest people? This workshop is aimed at future leaders in global health who will gain skills and knowledge about global health delivery. The workshop will be a small, intimate forum with a limited capacity of no more than 10 participants.  Applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis.

The Yale Alumni Association of Metropolitan New York York (YAAMNY), in collaboration with coveted independent children's bookstore Books of Wonder, presents an evening with James Prosek (BR '97) on the wonders of the natural world on the occasion of his recent publication of Bird, Butterfly, Eel. Register today at: http://jamesprosekatbooksofwonder.eventbrite.com/. The talk and question and answer session will last from 6 to 6:45 p.m. followed by an informal reception. All are welcome including family and friends, and children of all ages. Pre-registration is required.

Change is all around us. From the first buds of springtime to the first autumn frost, nature shows us that change is all around us and that the world has its own way of beginning anew. Bird, Butterfly, and Eel spend their summers on the same coastal farm, but in the fall they go to very distant and different places. Their journeys to the far reaches of land and sea make them remarkable creatures. James Prosek uses their stories and his own sun-kissed paintings to introduce young readers to the basic elements of bird, fish, and insect migration.

Join us for a family-friendly program with Yale alumnus James Prosek on his recent children's book Bird, Butterfly, Eel. James will share not only Bird, Butterfly, Eel with the audience, but his insights from his other published books and resonant stories about observing nature, adventures out of doors, mentorship, publishing narratives and tales, and his education in and beyond the classroom. His talk will be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

We would like to invite everyone to attend the upcoming YAAMNY Public Service/Social Justice Meeting.

In addition to supporting the exciting and worthwhile projects already listed on the agenda, we strongly encourage all attendees to join and be a part of creating and sustaining new partnerships in both arenas of public service and social justice. Our goal is to engage the Yale Alumni community in various types of short term/long term community-building projects that enable you to contribute positively to your environment and society while working with other fellow Yalies, based on your schedule of availability. We look forward to seeing you.

This event is brought to you by two premier networking groups for young alumni in New York City: PostU and Giving Opportunities to Others (GOTO). PostU is a consortium of 61 NYC alumni school clubs who self-organize for the purpose of supporting each others' member recruitment and engagement objectives. GOTO is a 501(3)(c) that enriches the lives of promising, underprivileged children by immersing them in art and music. This effort is complemented by a series of initiatives that encourage philanthropic awareness through volunteer and social events among young professionals.

This event is filled. Many thanks to all our enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers!

The Public Service Committee is pleased to return to a Day of Service Site, the Yorkville Common Pantry, to help out with their annual toy sorting. We are looking for 15 volunteers for both the morning and afternoon shifts as follows:

Morning: 9:30 am to 12:30 pm
Afternoon: 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm

This will be a great way to meet and network with other Yale Alumni, while filling a real need: sorting donated toys to appropriate categories. Yorkville Common Pantry is NYC's largest community based food pantry, and is dedicated to reducing hunger while promoting dignity and self-sufficiency.

Come out and join other Yalies and spread some good holiday cheers -- there are many in our community who need your help and good spirit!
