Editor's Note April 2008

Happy happy spring to all.  This weekend you should know over 30 of your fellow alums are heading off to work hard on building a roadmap to make YAAMNY better and stronger for the benefit of all alums and the communities we live in.

At the AYA reception two weeks ago, apart from the free drinks and treats, we had almost 100 Yalies join us upstairs for an energetic discussion about the future of YAAMNY. 

And so you know its not all just talk, please see the great event supporting Best Buddies below, and we'll have another inter club alumni mixer May 13 at the Taj, organized by the indefatigable My Luu (details coming in May).

I know many of you want to see panels, sports teams, and more in depth volunteering opportunities and all of these are on the way.  We're not just a newsletter anymore folks and we always want YOU to be involved.

Did you know YAAMNY.net has posted over 200 events open to all alumni since last year?  In addition to these events we've had almost 300 other notices, classifieds, articles, photos and news in that time.

In March we had 18,735 visitors to the website and 85 new events, classifieds and announcements posted by YOU.  Add Content Here.

Looking for a 2BR in May/June

Hi Yale folk,

My roommate is getting married this summer and leaving NYC, so we'll be vacating our lovely apt on the UES in about 2 months. I do, however, plan to move in with another Yale friend come May or June, so if you know of any 2BR vacancies in Manhattan, please let me know. We know that we can always call a broker, but as they seem to significantly overcharge for any and all of their services, we're hoping for some help from our fellow Yalies.

We're looking to spend $3000/month, although it's slightly flexible and less is obviously more. We both work long hours and would like to live in an area that's safe to come home to in the wee hours of the morning.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Meera, CC '05
