Two exceptional book events for Yale alumni in New York are coming up soon!  Hear Ron Chernow '70, winner of the National Book Award, speak on November 3 about his highly acclaimed new work Washington, A Life.  And learn from Yale Prof. Ian Ayres '81, NY Times best-selling author of Carrots and Sticks, about the science and practice of meeting personal goals on Oct 26.

We bring you both gatherings in the Mies van der Rohe and Phillip Johnson's landmark Seagram Building at 375 Park Avenue, one of the finest and most elegant examples of curtain-wall architecture in the world. 

Join us at the Reebok Sports Club this Saturday 10/2 from noon to 3:30 for a workout class, lunch party, and a three day pass (useable any time this year) to enjoy the club!
